Seven Newly Recorded Macrofungi of Inocybaceae (Agaricales, Basidiomycota) in Korea

The Inocybaceae is a family of ectomycorrhizal fungi belonging to the Agaricales order. Most species in this family produce secondary metabolites, such as muscarine, psilocybin, and other compounds. In the present study, we conducted taxonomic studies on the Inocybaceae based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses for the first time in Korea. As a result, seven species of Inocybaceae were newly recorded: Inocybe caroticolor, I. fuscidula, I. grammatoides, I. latibulosa, I. stellata, Inosperma shawarense, and Mallocybe malenconii. Among them, the genera Inosperma and Mallocybe were described for the first time in Korea. Relevant morphological characteristics, phylogenetic trees, and photographs are provided.
