Summary: This study investigates the species diversity, phylogenetic relationships, divergence time, potential geographic distribution, and the environmental factors that determine the distribution of Favolaschia in China. It describes eight new species based on morphology and molecular phylogenetic analyses. The molecular clock analysis suggests that the common ancestor of Favolaschia originated in East Asia and South and Central America in the Paleogene period. The potential distribution of Favolaschia in China is predicted to expand in the future under different climate change scenarios.

Summary: This study describes a new basidiolichen species of Omphalina, discovered in a residential area of Jiangxi Province, China. The finding updates our understanding of the delimitation of Omphalina, indicating the inclusion of both lichen-forming and non-lichen-forming fungal species within the genus. The presence of algal cells in the basidiomata deserves more attention, as it can help distinguish potential basidiolichen species and explore cryptic species diversity. This work provides new insights and evidence for understanding the significance of lichenization during the evolution of Agaricomycetes.

Summary: Specimens of Crinipellis and Marasmius collected from Beijing, North China, were studied using morphological and molecular methods. Phylogenetic analyses were performed separately for the two genera based on ITS sequence data. Two new species, C. deutziae and M. pinicola, were discovered, and C. rhizomaticola was reported for the first time in China. Descriptions and illustrations of the three species were provided. This study contributes to the knowledge of macro-fungal species diversity in Beijing.

Summary: A new species called Hohenbuehelia filicina is described from Southwestern Siberia, Russia. This species is distinct from other species in the same genus in terms of morphology, ecology, and phylogenetics. Its unique combination of morphological features (relatively long stipe, white fruitbodies) and substrate preference (exclusively growing on live ostrich ferns) allows for easy recognition even in the field. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted to confirm the identity of this new species.

Summary: A major fungal lineage centered around Cortinarius vibratilis is identified through morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses, forming a well-supported clade referred to as the new subgenus C. subg. Vibratiles. This subgenus includes four sections and various small clades. Additionally, two new myxacioid sections, C. sect. Microspermi and C. sect. Turcopedes, are proposed.

Summary: Fungal and arthropod consumers make up the majority of terrestrial biodiversity. The relationship between plant communities and consumer communities is not well understood. This study found that certain plant attributes were positively related to the richness of fungal and arthropod communities. The plant-attribute approach shows promise for predicting consumer richness in areas lacking detailed plant-consumer databases.

Summary: This study analyzed and revised the taxonomy of 31 North American fungi species described by Charles Horton Peck, specifically focusing on the genus Hebeloma. The results identified 13 Hebeloma species that should be accepted and used, while synonymizing several species previously described from America with Peck's species. Additionally, the study discovered and classified several non-Hebeloma species belonging to different genera.

Summary: William Alphonso Murrill, an American mycologist, described and recombined numerous species within the genus Hebeloma. This study examines and analyzes 52 taxa described by Murrill, including morphological and molecular analysis of the species. Among these taxa, 23 are currently recognized as Hebeloma species, with six regarded as valid and acceptable names. The study also includes reclassifications and synonymizations of other species. Additionally, 29 species belong to various genera, supported by molecular data. The study cautions against the use of certain names, namely H. alachuanum and H. vatricosum.

Summary: During the 1970s and 1980s, multiple authors described numerous North American taxa in the Hebeloma genus, resulting in a total of 130 species. Through morphological, habitat, location, and molecular analysis, 14 current names were identified among the 128 validly published taxa, while the remaining 114 were synonymized with other names, bringing the number of currently recognized Hebeloma species in America to 72.
