Three new species of Russula (Russulales) from India

Abstract

Abstract Since 2008, macrofungal explorations have been undertaken in a mycologically underexplored West district of Sikkim (India), located in the Eastern Himalaya. Three species, namely Russula sharmae, R. dubdiana and R. sikkimensis are proposed herein as new taxa. Macro-and micromorphological illustrated descriptions of these species are given along with their taxonomic positions and relations to allied species
