Caloscypha fulgens in western USA undescribed?
Alan Rockefeller, 17-06-2018 00:36
Alan RockefellerLooks like what is passing for Caloscypha fulgens in the west coast of the USA is probably undescribed.

There are only three ITS sequences of Caloscypha in GenBank - one from South Korea, one from Canada and one which doesn't give a location. None of them match my sequence from California.


Caloscypha fulgens was described from Switzerland, Caloscypha fulgens f. caesioalba from Italy and there don't appear to be any North American names.


There are more LSU sequences of Caloscypha in GenBank, maybe I'll generate one this week. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nucleotide/DQ220318 is probably a LSU sequence of our western Montane material, and it tells a similar story to ITS, with most other sequences matching 94 to 97%.


My sequence will be in GenBank in a few days, and for now is accessible here: http://mushroomobserver.org/sequence/show_sequence/1288.>
