Abstract

Five species of Crepidotus (Agaricales, Crepidotaceae) were documented during our ongoing efforts to characterize the fungi of Kerala State, India. Of these, three species are new to science, while C. roseus and C. alabamensis represent new Asian and Indian records, respectively. Herein, we fully describe and illustrate Crepidotus exiguus, C. flavobrunneus, and C. tortus and provide updated descriptions and distributional data for C. alabamensis and C. roseus. A phylogenetic reconstruction based on maximum likelihood analyses of nuclear ribosomal large subunit rDNA sequences is also included.
