Abstract

Parasola malakandensis sp. nov. is described as a new species from Malakand, Pakistan, based on morpho-anatomical and molecular data. Morphological description and line drawings of anatomical structures for the new species and comparison with closely allied taxa are provided. Phylogenetic analyses based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS), large subunit of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrLSU) and gene for translation elongation factor 1α (tef-1α) are studied. Parasola malakandensis is placed in Parasola section Auricomi on account of dark brown sclerocystidia in the pileipellis and basidiospores with central germ-pore.
