Abstract

Why Omphalotus illudens (Schwein.) Bresinsky et Besi is an independent species. The genus Omphalotus is known from tropical or temperate areas all over the world. Currently, eight species are described. Two of them, O. olearius and O. illudens. occur in Europe. Since these two species are morphologically very similar, their taxonomical status is still controversial. This study provides a careful review of the problem: morphological, chemotaxo nomical, molecular data as well as data from mating experiments are evaluated. The results point to the conclusion that O. olearius and O. illudens are distinct species.
