Abstract
Marasmius margallensis sp. nov. of sect. Sicci from Margalla hills, Islamabad, Pakistan, is described and illustrated, based on morphological characteristics and multigene phylogenetic analyses. The taxon is characterized by a pale yellow to dull orange pileus with light gray margins, clavate to narrowly fusiform basidiospores, rather short pleurocystidia and hymeniderm pileipellis with Siccus-type broom-cells. Marasmius pulcherripes is closest relative of the newly described species M. margallensis in sect. Sicci in phylogenetic analyses but the later one is distinct by macro-, and micro-morphological features and molecular data.
