Abstract

A new species, Entoloma lushanense, is described and illustrated from the Jiangxi Province of China. It is characterized by a small brownish grey pileus with obtuse umbo, heterodiametric spores, a pileipellis as a cutis with a subpellis, and the absence of cystidia and clamp-connections. These morphological characteristics and the phylogenetic analyses (Bayesian Inference and Maximum Likelihood) supported the uniqueness of the species and its taxonomic status within the subgenus Nolanea.
