Gymnopus ramulicola sp. nov., a pinkish species from southern China

Gymnopus ramulicola, a new species of G. subsect. Vestipedes, is described from China. It is characterized by a pale red to pinkish white pileus, adnate to subfree lamellae, a (sub)insititious stipe with white mycelium at an enlarged base, a simple pileipellis cutis with occasional weakly diverticulate elements, abundant clamp connections, and habitat on twigs or sticks of broadleaved trees. The new species is compared with similar species in its subsection, and its phylogenetic position is inferred by a maximum likelihood tree based on ITS sequences.
