Sistotrema luteoviride sp. nov. (Cantharellales, Basidiomycota) from Finland

Heikki Kotiranta, Karl-Henrik Larsson

Abstract


A new Sistotrema species from Northern Finland, S. luteoviride is described and illustrated. The two hitherto known collections derive from Finnish Lapland and both grew on corticated Juniperus communis. The spores are very similar to those of S. citriforme, which however is a simple septate species and differs clearly by its ITS sequence.

Keywords


Cantharellales; Juniperus communis; Lapland
