... The ITS sequence obtained for each sample was used as a query and subjected to NCBI-BLAST (National Institute of Health-Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) to verify the genus of the corresponding sequence. Based on the genus of the samples, reference nucleotide sequences were retrieved from GenBank considering recently published data (Karunarathna et al. 2011, Sammut et al. 2019, Kaygusuz et al. 2020, Kshirsagar et al. 2020, Chattopadhyay et al. 2022, Kumla et al. 2022, Miriyagalla et al. 2022, Ediriweera et al. 2023, Haqnawaz et al. 2023. The ITS sequences of the samples and the reference sequences were aligned with ClustalW and further improved with MUSCLE implemented in MEGA 11 (Tamura et al. 2011). ...
... In Sri Lanka, morphological characterization of V. volvacea was done by Pegler (1986), but the current work is the first study conducted on molecular characterization of V. volvacea in Sri Lanka. Currently, commercial cultivation of V. volvacea can be seen in Asian countries such as China, India, the Philippines, and Thailand (Kumla 2022). Moreover, V. volvacea is commercially grown in Sri Lanka, and several studies have been undertaken to enhance cultivation methods for this mushroom species in the country (Rajapakse 2011, Nissanka et al. 2013. ...
With the increasing world population, identifying additional food sources is crucial. Mushrooms have long been considered a nutraceutical and are consumed globally, including in Sri Lanka. Due to its abundant biodiversity, there is a significant potential for diverse wild edible mushrooms in Sri Lanka. However, the identification of these mushrooms based on morphological characteristics can often be misleading. Molecular characterization ensures more accurate and reliable identification of mushrooms, yet it has not been conducted extensively in Sri Lanka. This study collected several wild edible mushroom samples from Colombo and Rathnapura Districts of Sri Lanka. The edibility of these wild edible mushrooms was confirmed based on traditional knowledge and later verified by published literature. Phylogenetic analyses based on maximum likelihood (ML) analyses of ITS rDNA sequence data and morphological characteristics were used to determine the identity of the collected mushrooms. In this study, six edible mushrooms, Calvatia candida, Pleurotus giganteus, Schizophyllum radiatum, Termitomyces heimii, T. microcarpus, and Volvariella volvacea were identified based on morphology and phylogeny. Calvatia candida and S. radiatum are reported as new records for Sri Lanka, while this is the first study conducted on molecular characterization of V. volvacea in Sri Lanka. Finally, this study aims to increase the research interest, cultivation, commercialization, and conservation of these identified edible mushrooms in Sri Lanka.
... The genus Volvariella includes about 50-57 species worldwide (Agerer 2018, He et al. 2019. Taxonomic reviews of Volvariella that include molecular data have been published for different areas of Eurasia (e.g., Vizzini et al. 2011b, Senthilarasu et al. 2012, Xu et al. 2015, Malysheva et al. 2019, 2022, 2023, Kaygusuz et al. 2020, Niego et al. 2021, Kumla et al. 2022, Malysheva & Popov 2022, Haqnawaz et al. 2023, Africa , and South America (Menolli & Capelari 2008, with molecular data in Justo et al. 2011a. Apparently, the genus Volvariopsis (type V. volvacea) is phylogenetically distinct from Volvariella sensu stricto, but putatively intermediate lineages between them (Malysheva et al. 2019, Chattopadhyay et al. 2022, Kumla et al. 2022 need to be analyzed to confirm its most suitable taxonomic status. ...

The phylogenetic position of several clitocyboid/pleurotoid/tricholomatoid genera previously considered incertae sedis is here resolved using an updated 6-gene dataset of Agaricales including newly sequenced lineages and more complete data from those already analyzed before. Results allowed to infer new phylogenetic relationships, and propose taxonomic novelties to accommodate them, including up to ten new families and a new suborder. Giacomia (for which a new species from China is here described) forms a monophyletic clade with Melanoleuca (Melanoleucaceae) nested inside suborder Pluteineae, together with the families Pluteaceae, Amanitaceae (including Leucocortinarius), Limnoperdaceae and Volvariellaceae. The recently described family Asproinocybaceae is shown to be a later synonym of Lyophyllaceae (which includes also Omphaliaster and Trichocybe) within suborder Tricholomatineae. The families Biannulariaceae, Callistosporiaceae, Clitocybaceae, Fayodiaceae, Macrocystidiaceae (which includes Pseudoclitopilus), Entolomataceae, Pseudoclitocybaceae (which includes Aspropaxillus), Omphalinaceae (Infundibulicybe and Omphalina) and the new families Paralepistaceae and Pseudoomphalinaceae belong also to Tricholomatineae. The delimitation of the suborder Pleurotineae (= Schizophyllineae) is discussed and revised, accepting five distinct families within it, viz. Pleurotaceae, Cyphellopsidaceae, Fistulinaceae, Resupinataceae and Schizophyllaceae. The recently proposed suborder Phyllotopsidineae (= Sarcomyxineae) is found to encompass the families Aphroditeolaceae, Pterulaceae, Phyllotopsidaceae, Radulomycetaceae, Sarcomyxaceae (which includes Tectella), and Stephanosporaceae, all of them unrelated to Pleurotaceae (suborder Pleurotineae) or Typhulaceae (suborder Typhulineae). The new family Xeromphalinaceae, encompassing the genera Xeromphalina and Heimiomyces, is proposed within Marasmiineae. The suborder Hygrophorineae is here reorganized into the families Hygrophoraceae, Cantharellulaceae, Cuphophyllaceae, Hygrocybaceae and Lichenomphaliaceae, to homogenize the taxonomic rank of the main clades inside all suborders of Agaricales. Finally, the genus Hygrophorocybe is shown to represent a distinct clade inside Cuphophyllaceae, and the new combination H. carolinensis is proposed.
... Pseudoplagiostoma dipterocarpicola is the sole saprobic species isolated from dead twigs and fruits of Dipterocarpus sp. in thailand (tang et al. 2022). In this study, the species under examination was isolated from the leaf litter of broadleaf species in thailand, which is a geographical region widely known for its fungal diversity (Hyde et al. 2018), with several new taxa have been constantly described (tang et al. 2020, Wei et al. 2021, kumla et al. 2022, and Phookamsak et al. 2022. this is also valid for doi Inthanon, located in this region (teejuntuk et al. 2003). ...
Fungi are dominant microorganisms in plant litter, especially in pristine environments. This study collected leaf litter of broadleaf species within Doi Inthanon National Park, Chiang Mai, Thailand. Phylogenetic analyses utilizing DNA sequence data from ITS, LSU, tef1-α, rpb2, and tub2 regions and morphological characteristics revealed a new species, Pseudoplagiostoma inthanonense (Pseudoplagiostomataceae). The phylogeny and morphology of this novel species are thoroughly described and supported with detailed illustrations. Pseudoplagiostoma inthanonense is characterized by the shape and size of the conidiogenous cell and spore size. The discovery of P. inthanonense confirms that Pseudoplagiostoma consists of pathogenic, endophytic, and saprobic life forms while creating new research opportunities on potential lifestyle changes of Pseudoplagiostoma species.
... All Volvariella species grow in terrestrial habitats, on the ground in grasslands or forests, or dead wood, mainly on soil litter layers, and in different types of plant vegetation (Malysheva et al. 2022). Volvariella species are known to be widely distributed throughout Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, and America (Priest & Conde 2006;Kumla et al. 2022). Many studies reported that the genus Volvariella was phylogenetically polyphyletic due to its distant position from the Pluteoid clade and was grouped together with Cantharocybe H.E. Bigelow & A.H. Smith (1973: 486) and Camarophyllus (Fries 1849: 307) P. Kummer (1871: 26) in the Agaricales phylogeny (Justo et al. 2011a, b). ...
... The genus comprises almost 54 species with 145 epithets accessed in Index Fungorum (He et al. 2019;Niego et al. 2021;Kumla et al. 2022;Malysheva et al. 2022;Chattopadhyay et al. 2022). In Pakistan, six species have previously been reported and their distribution is limited to a few areas of Pakistan such as V. bingensis (Beeli) Shaffer (1963:564), V. castanea (Massee) G.C. Rath, (1963:525), V. media (Schumach.) ...
During surveys in the rainy season, a few collections of a novel Volvariella species were found on the decomposed matter, and sandy soil from the bed of the Indus River, Muzaffargarh, and Noorpur Thal, Khushab, Punjab, Pakistan. Phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (nrITS) has confirmed that this new species (namely Volvariella variicystidiosa) forms a separate clade from the previously known species of Volvariella. Volvariella variicystidiosa differs from a closely related species, V. taylorii, by its dull brown umbo and grayish brown striations on the pileus toward the margins, dull orange lamellae, and anatomically light yellow to gray pileipellis. Our new taxon is also different from existing species by having cheilocystidia and pleurocystidia with a broad variation of shapes and sizes. Abundant cheilocystidia are cymbiform to mucronate, narrowly to broadly moniliform with a broad base, and rarely broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid with obtuse apex, triangular to conical; pleurocystidia are moderately ellipsoid, rarely flexuous and oblong. Our findings provide evidence that this fungus represents a new taxon and it is a great addition to our current knowledge of the vast diversity of Volvariella species.
... neovolvacea and V. thailandensis) and two previously known species (V. bombycina and V. volvacea) collected from northern Thailand were identified based on their morphological characteristics and the phylogenetic analyses conducted by Kumla et al. [294]. Thus, the number of Volvariella species recorded in Thailand has been raised to a total of ten species, of which six species were confirmed by morphological and molecular evidence (Table 7). ...
Fungi are a diverse eukaryotic group that is distributed throughout the world. Many mycologists have identifi ed Thailand as a hot spot for the discovery of novel macrofungal taxa. Currently, a combination of morphological and molecular data is required for correct macrofungal identifi cation. Traditionally, Thai macrofungi have been studied and described based on morphological characteristics. Many species of fungi have been linked to native species that had previously been identifi ed in America and Europe. These have been included on checklists that have come to be regularly cited in many published scientifi c studies. However, some of these determinations are now in doubt and cannot be confi rmed due to a lack of comprehensive herbarium material, fully accurate descriptions, and molecular data. Since 2005, Thai macrofungi research has greatly expanded and the identifi cation process has signifi cantly improved by employing molecular approaches. Many new macrofungal taxa and records have been discovered and described based on existing morphological and molecular data. This paper will briefl y review the history of Thai mycology and the current status of Thai macrofungi research. Moreover, the identifi cation of ten genera, namely Agaricus, Amanita, Astraeus, Chlorophyllum, Clitopilus, Daldinia, Ganoderma, Phlebopus, Pluteus, and Volvariella, has been updated and a new accurate list will be established based on the collection, description, and molecular data obtained from Thai native specimens.
... Sm.) H.E. Bigelow & A.H. Sm. (1973: 486), AH24539). Most of species of Volvariella included in the analyses form strongly supported clades, in agreement with the earlier studies , Malysheva et al. 2019, Kumla et al. 2022. ...
One new species of Volvariella (V. orientalis) is described based on materials collected from Vietnam. The species is characterized by large, stout basidiocarps with pilose-squamulose pileus, saccate volva, basidiospores 7.5–8.5 × 5.0–6.0 µm, and mucronate cheilocystidia. The macro- and microscopic descriptions with discussion on similar taxa are given, and their taxonomic position is supported by phylogenetic analyses based on nrITS and nrLSU regions.
A new species, Volvariella bilobata, has been described herein from West Bengal, India. Field photographs of the basidiocarps were provided and the new species were compared with its allied taxa based on morphological and molecular (nrITS sequence) data. Volvariella bilobata was characterized by a medium sized, entirely greyish brown pileus with fibrillose surface; close to crowded lamellae coloured greyish white to greyish orange; a bilobed saccate volva with greyish brown outer surface and greyish white inner surface; smaller basidiospores measuring 4.8–5.5 × 2.7–3.5 µm; clavate to ventricose lageniform cheilocystidia measuring 32–83 × 13–30 µm; variously shaped pleurocystidia measuring 18.5–27.5 × 7–10 µm; habitat on soil; and unique sequences. Detailed morphological description with illustrations and phylogenetic tree based on molecular sequence data revealed it to be a new species
