This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract The species Hebeloma vesterholtii spec. nov. is other species of sect. Theobromina mentioned above and described. It is morphologically and molecularly closely H. plesiocistum which shares a number of characters with related to Hebeloma theobrominum from which it can be the members of sect. Theobromina. distinguished using either morphological or molecular characters. Both of these species belong to section Theobromina. The new species is known from 13 collec- Materials and methods tions from six European countries. ITS sequence data were obtained from all known col- Keywords Hebeloma theobrominum . Ectomycorrhizal lections of Hebeloma vesterholtii and all collections of fungi . Agaricales . Basidiomycota H. theobrominum examined in the context of this study. Sequences were produced by direct sequencing following the protocols detailed in Eberhardt et al. (2009)and Introduction references therein. In some of the tracefiles evidence was found for length variation within the template PCR products. Hebeloma section Theobromina was proposed by Vesterholt These were taken into account by including both length (2005) and includes H. theobrominum (the section type), variants as separate sequences into GenBank and into the H. erumpens and potentially another taxon that cannot be phylogenetic analyses. Collection details and GenBank clearly differentiated from H. erumpens (Eberhardt et al. accession numbers of new accessions are listed in Table 1. 2009). In this paper we describe a new species, H. Additional sequences considered in the molecular analyses vesterholtii spec. nov., that fits both morphologically in were EU570163—EU570189, EU693013, EU881922, and the sect. Theobromina and molecularly in the clade / EU887517 (GenBank acc. numbers) for which collection theobromina. We also provide molecular evidence using details were published by Eberhardt et al. (2009). To avoid ITS sequence data that H. vesterholtii is a taxon distinct from confusion stemming from the application of different the other members of its section. In addition, we include a species concepts we did not include sequences in the morphological key to separate this species from the two analysis for which the corresponding collections have not been morphologically examined within this project.
