Abstract

Marasmiellus celebanticus, collected in the coastal area of northeast Spain, is illustrated and described as a new species on the basis of morphological features and ITS sequence analysis. According to molecular data it is close to M. candidus in section Candidi, in which it occupies an isolated position due to its brown pileus and clavate cheilocystidia.
