Abstract

Two new species of Marasmiellus (Tricholomataceae, Agaricales) are described and illustrated from Japan: (1) Marasmiellus crassitunicatus sp. nov. (subsection Inodermini of section Marasmiellus) forms dark reddish-brown, orbicular to reniform basidiomata constantly accompanied by tufts of short filiform rhizomorphs, growing on the bark of living coniferous or broad-leaved trees; and (2) Marasmiellus vernalis sp. nov. (subsection Quercini of section Dealbati) forms small brown basidiomata with nondiverticulate pileipellis elements, growing on the bark of living Pinus thunbergii in spring (April to June).
