Abstract
The genus Cortinarius (Pers.) Gray is one of the dominating mushroom-forming ectomycorrhizal genera in the Indian Himalaya. Cortinarius subgenus Telamonia (Fr.) Trog is the most species-rich group within this genus. In this subgenus, two novel species, namely C. thindii A.Bose & K.Das sp. nov. and C. dhakuricus A.Bose & K.Das sp. nov. (under C. section Hinnulei Melot), and one new record for Indian mycobiota, namely C. pseudotorvus A.Naseer, J.Khan, & A.N.Khalid (under C. section Telamonia (Fr.) Gillot & Lucand), collected from the state of Uttarakhand are presented here with morphological descriptions, illustrations and nrITS-based molecular phylogenetic inferences. Additionally, Cortinarius parvisporus Vizzini is here proposed as nom. nov., for C. brunneocarpus var. microsporus J.Khan.
