The genus Tuber comprises ectomycorrhizal fungal species producing belowground ascomata, including the gastronomically most prominent hypogeous fungi. Since the discovery and description of new species are ongoing, the proportion of undescribed species can be considerable and the taxonomy of the genus goes often through changes. The taxonomy of the...
Type material and additional collections of 11 taxa of Gautieria described in Europe and North Africa have been studied, namely G. dubia, G. graveolens, G. morchelliformis var. globispora, G. morchelliformis var. magnicellaris, G. morchelliformis var. morchelliformis, G. morchelliformis var. stenospora, G. otthii, G. pseudovestita, G. retirugosa, G...

Two new and closely related species Phaeopezia vittadinii and P. calongei are described, representing the first semi-hypogeous taxa within the genus Phaeopezia. Until now, this genus consisted only of the epigeous P. apiculata f. apiculata and P. apiculata f. alba. Resumen: Se describen dos nuevas especies fúngicas semi hipogeas del género Phaeopez...
Tuber mesentericum is an edible European black truffle, apparently easy to recognize, but showing a high degree of genetic variability. In this study, we performed an integrative taxonomic assessment of the T. mesentericum complex, combining a multilocus phylogeographic approach with morphological analyses, and including authentic specimens of Vitt...
The true truffles, Tuber aestivum Vittad., T. borchii Vittad., T. magnatum Picco and T. melanosporum Vittad., are among the most studied fungal species; they also have a high economic value due to their special aromatic and nutritional properties that make them a much sought delicacy. Despite this, their identification has been based on morphologic...
En esta guía se estudian de una forma rigurosa, amplia y científica las principales especies de setas que pueden encontrarse comercializadas en nuestra comunidad autónoma, cultivadas o que crecen de forma natural. Para facilitar la identificación de cada una de las especies y géneros, en la mayoría de ellos se han destacado sus caracteres macroscóp...
Recent collections of Tuber malacodermum from Spain, Corsica, and Mexico were compared in an integrative morphological and molecular phylogenetic framework, including study of type material. Phylogenetic analyses of nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 = ITS) and nuc 28S rDNA (28S) regions showed that specimens from Spain and Corsic...
A comprehensive morphological and genetic study of type material and new collections of sequestrate Russulales species formerly belonging to the genera Arcangeliella, Elasmomyces, Gymnomyces, Hydnangium, Hymenogaster, Macowanites, Martellia, Secotium and Zelleromyces is here undertaken, for the purpose of providing a complete taxonomical revision o...

We propose a monographic revision of the genus Delastria, with the description of four new species (Delastria evae sp. nov., D. faustiniana sp. nov., D. javieri sp. nov. and D. liebanensis sp. nov.) and the revision of two published ones (D. rosea and D. supernova). Résumé : nous proposons une révision monographique du genre Delastria, avec la desc...
Nomenclatural type definitions are one of the most important concepts in biological nomenclature. Being physical objects that can be re-studied by other researchers, types permanently link taxonomy (an artificial agreement to classify biological diversity) with nomenclature (an artificial agreement to name biological diversity).
Two proposals to am...
Elaphomyces (‘deer truffles’) is one of the most important ectomycorrhizal fungal genera in temperate and subarctic forest ecosystems, but also one of the least documented in public databases. The current systematics are mainly based on macromorphology, and is not significantly different from that proposed by Vittadini (1831). Within the 49 species...
PAZ, A., J.M. VIDAL, C. LAVOISE & P.-A. MOREAU (2016). Taxonomic revision of
the genus Octaviania (Boletales) in Europe. Bol. Micol. FAMCAL 11: 101-138. The revision of the
genus Octaviania initiated by PAZ & al. (2014) is completed after consulting the available type material
of the different european species. The type Octaviania asterosperma is r...
As a result of the study of the European type material of the genera Octaviania Vittad. and Hydnangium Wallr., as well as various collections made by the authors of this paper, we propose a new combination, O. depauperata; a new variety, O. depauperata var. laurarum; and a new species, O. vacekii. Macroscopic and microscopic photographs of all them...
