Abstract
The new genus
Neocampanella (Agaricales, Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) is established for
Dentocorticium btastanos Boidin & Gilles, a crustose species, and the new combination,
Neocampanella blastanos, is proposed. Morphological and molecular studies support the recognition of the new genus and its close ties to
Campanella, a pleurotoid agaric. The recently described
Brunneocorticium is a monorypic, corticioid genus closely related to
Campanella also.
Brunneocorticium pyriforme S.H. Wu is conspecific with
Dendrothele bispora Burds. & Nakasone, and the new combination,
Brunneocorticium bisporum, is proposed.
