Abstract

Volvariella griseoalba is described as a new species from Punjab, Pakistan. The species was separated from its morphologically closest relative, V. sathei by its shiny greyish-white, umbonate pileus, subglobose to broadly ellipsoid basidiospores, utriform cheilocystidia and a white to brown volva. Molecular phylogenetic analyses of ITS and LSU region of the nrDNA also supported the studied taxon as a distinct species in Volvariella.
