Abstract

Arcangeliella borziana and A. Stephensii, two gasteroid fungi often mistaken. A ta xonomic revision of Lactarius-related sequestrate fungi. As a result ofthe stud y oftype material of Arcangeliella borziana Cavara, A. Volemoides K. et A. Mader, Hydnangium stephensii Berk., H.galathejum Quél.,H. soehneri Zeller et C.W. Dodge, H. soehneri var. ettenbergii Soehner, and recent new collections attributed to Arcangeliella borziana Cavara and Zelleromyces stephensii (Berk.) A.H. Sm., only two gasteroid, non -secotioid species are recognized , viz. Arcange liella borziana Cavara (=A. Volemoides) and A. Stephensii (Berk.) Zeller et C.W. Dodge (=H. galathejum, =H. soehneri, =H. soehneri var. ettenbergii). Both species are rede scribed, illustrated and compared, at the same time as the known data regarding its ecology, phenology and distribution in Europe are enriched and summarized. On the other hand, the genus Zelleromyces Singer et A.H. Sm. is synonymized with Arcangeliella Cavara to include only the gasteroid, non-secotioid species related to Lactarius; and the genus Gastrolactarius R. Heim ex J.M. Vidal is validated to accommodate the secotioid species. As a result , 26 new combinations are realized: 13 into the genus Arcangeliella, 12 into Gastrolactarius and 1 into Gymnomyces. Likewise, Zelleromyces hispanicus Calonge et Pegler is synonymized with Z. josserandii Malençon.
