Abstract

Yunnan Province of China is one of the most abundant wild fungi resources in China. This paper describes a new species of Hericium collected from Mopanshan National Nature Reserve in Yunnan Province, China. The study showed that two specimens of Hericium were different from the known Hericium species in morphology and phylogeny. Hericium yunnanense associated with the host Alnus nepalensis has a coral-like, milky white to yellow and larger basidiomata (180–300 × 110–170 mm), small and amyloid, broadly ellipsoid basidiospores. A description, illustrations, and a phylogenetic analysis are provided to show the placement of the new species.
