Abstract

Although India belongs to one of the 17 megadiverse countries of the world, little is known about its ectomycorrhizal fungi in general, and Boletaceae in particular. In the present communication, with the combined approach of multigene molecular phylogeny and morphological study, the diversity within Sutorius eximius sensu lato has been revealed and has supported the recognition of at least eight species in this complex. Moreover, a new species in this complex namely, Sutorius apleurocystidiatus, is also proposed and described from India with morphological details and molecular phylogeny.
