Description
Two mushrooms new to science are described from southwestern Guizhou in a 2026 taxonomy study from Heng-Ting Chen. The research article names Collybiopsis guizhouensis and Collybiopsis anlongensis, two small agaric fungi in the family Omphalotaceae, based on specimens collected in China.
The team combined microscopic morphology with a three-gene phylogenetic analysis using ribosomal and protein-coding markers. Each species landed in its own distinct, well-supported branch of the family tree in both maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses. Clear structural gaps from known relatives backed the molecular split, and the descriptions add to a genus whose small, plain fruiting bodies long hid its true diversity.
