Cantharellus gallaecicus (Blanco-Dios) Olariaga, comb. & stat. nov (Cantharellaceae)

Abstract

Cantharellus gallaecicus comb. & stat. nov. is proposed, after the examination of its holotype and additional material. Based on the characters observed in all the studied material (i.e., thinwalled hyphae of the pileipelis, minute basidiomata with white to grey pileus, and surface that turns yellow when bruised) it is considered that C. gallaecicus is more closely related to C. romagnesianus than to C. cibarius.
