Abstract

A new wood-inhabiting fungal species from Yunnan Province, China, is proposed based on morphological and molecular characters. Armillaria xiaocaobaensis is characterized by a central stipe, striate to furrowed orange yellow to pinkish brown pileus surface, membranous annulus, and ellipsoid, a monomitic hyphal system with generative hyphae bearing simple septa, and slightly thick-walled basidiospores averaging 7.7 × 4.9 μm. TEF1 sequence analyses support A. xiaocaobaensis as a distinct taxon in Armillaria.
