Within the family Inocybaceae, many species of Mallocybe have been reported, but there are only a few reports of this genus from Pakistan. In this study, six collections of Mallocybe were studied by morphological and phylogenetic methods. Phylogenetic analyses, based on sequence data from two different loci (ITS and LSU) using Maximum Likelihood and Maximum Parsimony methods, have been performed to infer species relationships within Mallocybe . Results indicated that these six collections encompass two new species of Mallocybe i.e. M. pakistanica and M. pinicola , from Pakistan. Their detailed morphological descriptions and illustrations are also provided. In addition, comparison with morphologically closely-related taxa is also discussed. Previously, only two species of this genus have been recorded from Pakistan and, with this addition, the total number of reported taxa of Mallocybe has been raised to four from Pakistan. A key to the described taxa of Mallocybe from Pakistan is also provided.

During fungal surveys between 2012 and 2014 in pine-dominated forests of the western Himalayas in Pakistan, several collections of Pseudosperma (Agaricales, Inocybaceae) were made. These were documented, based on morphological and molecular data. During this work, three new species came to light, which are here formally described as Pseudosperma brunneoumbonatum, P. pinophilum and P. triacicularis. These species belong in the genus Pseudosperma fide Matheny et al. (2019) = Pseudosperma clade fide Matheny (2005) = Inocybe sect. Rimosae s.s. fide Larsson et al. (2009). Macro- and micro-morphological descriptions, illustrations and molecular phylogenetic reconstructions of the studied taxa are provided. The new species are differentiated from their close relatives by basidiospore size and colouration of basidiomata. Molecular phylogenetic relationships are inferred using ITS (ITS1–5.8S–ITS2), nrLSU and mtSSU sequence data. All three newly-described taxa likely share an ectomycorrhizal association with trees in the genus Pinus. In addition, five names are recombined in Inosperma, Mallocybe and Pseudosperma. These are Inosperma vinaceobrunneum, Mallocybe erratum, Pseudosperma alboflavellum, Pseudosperma friabile and Pseudosperma neglectum.

The genus Inocybe (Inocybaceae) has a wide distribution, with species occurring in both temperate and tropical zones. Despite being a well known ectomycorrhizal genus, descriptions of species are infrequent in the Neotropics and poorly documented. Only five species are well documented from Brazil and studies on this genus are needed. This report describes I. lepidosparta as a new species from tropical montane forest (‘brejo de altitude’) of Pernambuco, Brazil. The usual methodology for analysis of agaric fungi was followed and colour codes are annotated based on a standard colour chart; the microscopic examinations were made using 3%–5% KOH and stained with Congo red, and 30 basidiospores were measured for statistics. The new species is characterised by its brownish squamulose pileus, scattered squamulose-fibrillose stipe, nodulose basidiospores 9–11.5 × (5.8–) 6.5–8.5 µm, large metuloid pleurocystidia 68–93 × 13–25 µm and absence of caulocystidia. Inocybe amazonensis, I. epidendron and I. paralanuginosa are compared with our new species and differ in several features; for example, pileus surface (fibrillose or squamulose), stipe colour, basidiospores size and characteristics of the metuloids (size, shape and wall thickness).

(1863: 346) (Agaricales, Inocybaceae) is a large genus with an estimated 735 species (Kirk et al. 2008, Kobayashi 2009, Matheny et al. 2009, Kobayashi & Onishi 2010, Kropp et al. 2010, Bougher & Matheny 2011, Bougher et al. 2012, Kokkonen & Vauras 2012, Fan & Bau 2013, 2014, Braaten et al. 2014, Esteve-Raventós et al. 2015, Jabeen et al. 2016, Farooqi et al. 2017, Naseer et al., 2017. Many species of this genus are also reported from Asia (Fan & Bau 2013, 2014, Vrinda et al. 1996, Kobayashi & Courtecuisse 1993, Kobayashi & Hungo 1993, Kobayashi 2009, Kobayashi & Onishi 2010, Horak et al. 2015, Pradeep et al. 2016. ...

From Pakistan, 22 species of Inocybe have been reported (Ahmad et al. 1997, Ilyas et al. 2013, Saba et al. 2015, Jabeen et al. 2016, Farooqi et al. 2017, Naseer et al. 2018. Members of this genus are found predominantly in temperate areas (Singer 1962, Matheny et al. 2003 and found least commonly in the tropics (Horak 1979, Singer et al. 1983, Buyck & Eyssartier 1999, Matheny et al. 2003. ...
Inocybe pakistanensis is described and illustrated as a new species based on morphological characters and molecular phylogenetic analysis of nuclear ribosomal DNA including the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions along with larger subunit (LSU). The distinctive basidiomata have a highly rimose and fibrillose golden brown pileus with a reddish brown, prominent umbo; ellipsoid to amygdaliform, slightly phasoeliform smooth basidiospores; and clamped septa in all the tissues. Molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of I. pakistanensis in section Rimosae s. str.
