A review of Entoloma sensu lato (Basidiomycota, Entolomataceae) from Yunnan Province, China

More Information
  • This review succinctly discusses data on morphology, systematics, ecology and biochemical properties of all the Entoloma species from Yunnan Province, China. We also propose directions for future research on Entoloma. Altogether, 8 species of Entoloma have been reported in the present study. Entoloma sinuatum and E. mengsongense showed the most contrasting variation in colour and size of the basidiomes while E. mengsongense and E. yunnanense were found to display wide variations in spore morphology. Most species are saprotrophic except E. caeruleoflavum and E. sinuatum which form mycorrhizal associations. Knowledge on biochemical and other chemical attributes of the genus are minimal although such details would help for better utilization of the genus.

Abstract: This review succinctly discusses data on morphology, systematics, ecology and biochemical properties of all the Entoloma species from Yunnan Province, China. We also propose directions for future research on Entoloma. Altogether, 8 species of Entoloma have been reported in the present study. Entoloma sinuatum and E. mengsongense showed the most contrasting variation in colour and size of the basidiomes while E. mengsongense and E. yunnanense were found to display wide variations in spore morphology. Most species are saprotrophic except E. caeruleoflavum and E. sinuatum which form mycorrhizal associations.
