Abstract

In a recent paper, Lepiota rufipes ss. orig. (a North American taxon) was synonymised with Cystolepiota seminuda. Accordingly, Lepiota coloratipes sp. nov. is here described for the taxon usually referred to as L. rufipes in Europe. On the basis of recent collections from Europe and China, a full description, colour pictures of basidiomata, line drawings of microscopic features and ITS phylogenetic analysis are provided. A unique combination of morphological characters—i.e. hymeniform pileus covering, cheilocystidia of variable shape, fugacious partial veil not forming an annulus, presence of oil droplets in all tissues, and uninucleate spores—corresponds to an isolated position of its sequences in the phylogenetic tree.
