Abstract

Based on morphological and molecular data, Bonomyces pakistanensis is described as a new species found in coniferous forests of Pakistan. Several collections of Bonomyces were made during mycological field trips conducted in different coniferous forests in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Detailed macro‐ and micro‐morphological descriptions and phylogenetic analyses of ITS and LSU sequence data support B. pakistanensis as a new species of Bonomyces. It has a small‐sized basidiome, orange to yellowish pileus covered with fine to coarse fibrils, or minute squamules at earlier stage. Later on, the pileus becomes smooth. The stipe is pale white with longitudinal fibrils. An illustrated description, molecular data, and detailed comparison with related or similar species is provided.
