Description
Summary:Pseudobaeospora cyanea, a rare basidiomycete belonging to an underinvestigated genus, is currently recorded from only three localities of the Iberian Peninsula. Moreover, to date no sequences of this rare species have been deposited in GenBank. In this paper a new collection from NW Italy is reported with detailed morphological descriptions and iconography. The first ITS and LSU sequences for the species are provided and uploaded to GenBank, and the taxonomic placement of P. cyanea within the genus is discussed.
