Rhodocybe subasyae, a new species of Rhodocybe sect. Rufobrunnea (Entolomataceae, Agaricales) from northeast China

Rhodocybe subasyae is described from northeast China as a new species with both morphological and molecular characteristics, which is morphologically characterized by its tricholomatoid basidiomata, orange white to beige red pileus, adnexed to sinuate lamellae and long clavate branched cheilocystidia within section Rufobrunnea. The phylogenetic tree based on internal transcribed spacers of rDNA (nrITS) sequences using Bayesian methods showed that new taxon was distinguished from other species of Rhodocybe.
