Molecular phylogeny and morphological characterization revealed <i>Candolleomyces mianwaliensis Psathyrellaceae, Agaricales</i> , a new species from Punjab, Pakistan
Candolleomyces mianwaliensis is described as a new species from Mianwali District, Punjab Pakistan. The species is characterized by spherical to plane pileus bearing pale orange irregular scales scattered over smooth dark orange surface when young, turning into off‐white scales over brown to dark brown surface towards maturity, and a double membranous annulus. Detailed morphological and molecular phylogenetic analysis based on nrDNA‐ITS sequence data distinguish this taxon from all known species in Candolleomyces .
