Agaricus belongs to Agaricaceae and is one of the most well-known macrofungi, with many edible species. More than 300 Agaricus specimens were collected during a three-year macrofungal resource field investigation in Northeast China. Based on morphological observations and multi-gene (ITS + nrLSU + tef1-a) phylogenetic analyses, six new Agaricus species, i.e., Agaricus aurantipileatus, A. daqinggouensis, A. floccularis, A. griseopileatus, A. sinoagrocyboides, and A. velutinosus, were discovered. These new species belong to four sections within different subgenera: A. (subg. Agaricus) sect. Agaricus, A. (subg. Flavoagaricus) sect. Arvenses, A. (subg. Minores) sect. Minores, and A. (subg. Pseudochitonia) sect. Xanthodermatei. Morphological descriptions, line illustrations, and basidiomata photographs of these new species are provided, and their differences from similar species are discussed.

Since mushrooms are a rich source of nutrients, they are among the food products that are in demand today. In terms of their nutritional content, mushrooms are low in energy and fat, but high in protein, carbohydrates, and dietary fiber. It is especially preferred by people with a vegan and vegetarian diet, thanks to its balanced amino acid content. Within the scope of the review, the taxonomic nomenclature of the most grown and consumed mushrooms in the world and in Turkey, their characteristics in terms of species and their nutritional content, are presented by supporting the studies in the literature. In addition, alternative mushroom species were introduced and the importance of using them as an alternative food was emphasized. In line with this study, it is aimed to contribute to the increase of mushroom consumption per capita in terms of nutritional content and health benefits.
... Large parts of the studies stem from international collaborations between European and Asian teams (Callac and Chen 2018). In total, 119 new species were described from Asia, representing 63% of the new species described worldwide (Chen et al. , 2019aZhao et al. 2012Zhao et al. , 2013Karunarathna et al. 2014;Li et al. 2014aThongklang et al. 2014Thongklang et al. , 2016Ariyawansa et al. 2015;Gui et al. 2015;He and Zhao 2015;Liu et al. 2015aLiu et al. , 2020Wang et al. 2015b;Dai et al. 2016;Kaur et al. 2016;Zhao et al. 2016a, b;Zhou et al. 2016;He et al. 2017He et al. , 2018aHyde et al. 2017;Zhang et al. 2017;Bashir et al. 2018;Mahdizadeh et al. 2018;Hussain and Sher 2019;Phookamsak et al. 2019;Zheng et al. 2019;Cao et al. 2021). Most of these new species were from tropical or subtropical regions, which is a good indication of the potential high species diversity in other unexplored tropical areas. ...

Fungi are eukaryotes that play essential roles in ecosystems. Among fungi, Basidiomycota is one of the major phyla with more than 40,000 described species. We review species diversity of Basidiomycota from five groups with different lifestyles or habitats: saprobic in grass/forest litter, wood-decaying, yeast-like, ectomycorrhizal, and plant parasitic. Case studies of Agaricus, Cantharellus, Ganoderma, Gyroporus, Russula, Tricholoma, and groups of lichenicolous yeast-like fungi, rust fungi, and smut fungi are used to determine trends in discovery of biodiversity. In each case study, the number of new species published during 2009–2020 is analysed to determine the rate of discovery. Publication rates differ between taxa and reflect different states of progress for species discovery in different genera. The results showed that lichenicolous yeast-like taxa had the highest publication rate for new species in the past two decades, and it is likely this trend will continue in the next decade. The species discovery rate of plant parasitic basidiomycetes was low in the past ten years, and remained constant in the past 50 years. We also found that the establishment of comprehensive and robust taxonomic systems based on a joint global initiative by mycologists could promote and standardize the recognition of taxa. We estimated that more than 54,000 species of Basidiomycota will be discovered by 2030, and estimate a total of 1.4–4.2 million species of Basidiomycota globally. These numbers illustrate a huge gap between the described and yet unknown diversity in Basidiomycota.
... Furthermore, edible macro-fungi have been considered one of the most prominent functional foods. They are collected in the wild or cultivated worldwide [5]. Fungi produce compounds with a broad spectrum of biological activity, including antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, antiviral, antithrombotic, antitumor, anticancer, anticomplementary, anticoagulant, hypolipidemic, hepatoprotective, immunostimulant and immunological activities, which made them suited for use in food, cosmetics, biomedicine, agriculture, environmental protection and wastewater management [6][7][8][9]. ...
The phytotoxicity activity of EtOAc extract obtained from Agaricus litoralis showed high phytotoxicity on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) leaves. A well-known phytotoxic metabolite: tyrosol [2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethanol], was isolated and identified from A. litoralis by spectroscopic methods. Phytotoxic activity of tyrosol was tested on seven agrarian plants: eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), fig (Ficus carica L.), apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.), peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch), lemon (Citrus limon (L.) Osbeck), Cucurbita (Cucurbita L.), grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) and two wild plants: willow oak (Quercus phellos L.), blackberry (Rubus fruticosus L.) using the leaf puncture assay, it showed weak phytotoxicity. The highest effect was observed on grapevine, apricot, peach, cucurbita and blackberry at 1 mg/ml; moderately phytotoxicity on eggplant, less phytotoxicity on fig, lemon and no necrosis on willow oak leaves. Tyrosol has been previously isolated from microorganisms, fungi, and plants, this being the first record from Agaricus litoralis as a phytotoxic metabolite.
... In the last two decades, taxonomy of the genus Agaricus L., which includes about 500 species worldwide, has received considerable attention generally using both traditional and molecular approaches. About 200 new species were described over that time in about 50 publications as summarized in Callac and Chen (2018), followed by an additional seven (Tarafder et al. 2018;Chen et al. 2019;Hussain and Sher 2019;Parra et al. 2019;Phookamsak et al. 2019;Zheng et al. 2019;Liu et al. 2020). In the new taxonomic system of classification proposed by Zhao et al. (2016), higher taxa are restricted to well-supported clades and ranked as subgenera or sections according to their divergence times estimated using a fossil-calibrated molecular clock approach. ...
The genus Agaricus currently includes about 500 species in seven subgenera. Continuing an inventory of species in the Caribbean, this manuscript’s objective was to focus on those in Agaricus subg. Spissicaules. This subgenus has been recently proposed and divided into four sections by applying a new taxonomic system in which supraspecific taxa are ranked according to their divergence times. We similarly applied this system using Bayesian evolutionary analyses (BEAST). Phylogenetic analyses were performed using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods, based either on multi-gene sequence data (ITS, ncLSU, and TEF1) or only on ITS, and including new collections from the Caribbean and one from Argentina. The analyses revealed seven major clades, all with divergence time estimated around 24 Ma. Among those, four were known sections of the subgenus, one remains a putative section, and we introduce the remaining two as new sections, A. sect. Fulventes and A. sect. Globoterminales. New samples were distributed among ten species-level clades. For eight of them, new species were proposed. They are distributed as follows: A. nanofulvens and A. basicingulatus are in the two new sections cited above, respectively; A. ciferrianus and A. omphalodiscus are in A. sect. Subrutilescentes; A. baronii, A. furfuripes, A. microincrustatus, and A. parvisporus are in A. sect. Rarolentes. The eight new species and the four sections to which they belong are described in detail. High levels of both species richness and phylogenetic diversity in the Caribbean region contributed to the refinement of the classification of A. subg. Spissicaules.
