Abstract

Zhuliangomyces pakistanicus is described and illustrated as a new species from Pakistan based on morphology and phylogeny. It is characterized by a depressed sticky creamy white pileus, an ixo-trichodermal pileipellis with lageniform terminal elements, a glutinous stipe, and obovoid smooth basidiospores. Phylogenetically, this is a distinct species compared to all other species of Zhuliangomyces.
