Abstract

A study of the types of two species of Tricholomopsis described by C. H. Peck, T. flavescens and T. sulphureoides, revealed that their ITS sequences differ clearly from each other and from previously studied European species. The species T. osiliensis described from Estonia is a synonym of T. sulphureoides. Because both type collections were mixed, lectotypes were designated for each.
