Abstract

The present paper discusses two new species of gilled fungi on the basis of polyphasic approach, the species are described as new to the science on the account of detailed morphological and anatomical details and further, confirmed through molecular characterization. These species were found growing in the pristine coniferous forest of the Kashmir Himalaya of India. They are described as incipient species to science and denominated as Lactarius wallichianae sp. nov. and Xerula magnispora sp. nov. These do not resemble with any of the kenned species of genus Lactarius and Xerula.
