Abstract

In this study, five species of Marasmius namely, M. bambusiniformis, M. haematocephalus, M. leveilleanus, M. midnapurensis, and M rotalis, plus Paramarasmius palmivorus are described, based on morphotaxonomic and molecular characters. Sequence data from internal transcribed spacers were used for phylogenetic analyses of the six species, supporting their identification based on macro and micromorphological characters. All of these species are reported for the first time from Puducherry region.
