Coprinellus ovatus sp. nov. from Pakistan
Keyword(s):
A Coprinellus specimen collected in Islamabad, Pakistan, showed characters that were distinct from those of all other Coprinellus spp.: an ovoid shaped pileus; a caespitose stipe base; utriform cheilocystidia bearing crystals; a pileipellis of loosely arranged clavate to mucronate hyphae; and basidiospores (9.5–11.6 × 6.0–7.8 × 5.6–6.2 μm) with shapes ranging from mitriform or triangular to ellipsoid in face view, amygdaliform to ellipsoid in side view. Combination of all these characters and molecular analysis of ITS sequences support its identification as a new species.
