Abstract

In Eastern Siberia and the Far East of Russia, several Suillus specimens associated with larch and exhibiting a unique combination of morphological features were discovered. Based on a three-locus phylogeny and morphological characters a new species Suillus kovalenkoi is proposed. The following features characterize the species: bright yellow basidiomata, brick-red dots on pileus surface in aged specimens, a grayish-white hymenophore that becomes yellowish toward the margin and turns purple-gray when bruised, and a thick, double, glutinous-membranaceous partial veil. For comparative purposes, morphologically similar taxa were considered, including Suillus bresadolae var. flavogriseus, Suillus gastroflavus, Suillus nueschii var. caerulescens, and Suillus moseri.
