Updated Taxonomy of Chinese Craterellus (Hydnaceae, Cantharellales) with Three New Species Described.

Species of Craterellus are interesting and important due to their mycorrhizal properties, medicinal value, and edibility. Despite extensive research on Craterellus in China, its taxonomy remains inadequately understood. This study presents three newly described species of Craterellus, namely C. albimarginatus, C. involutus, and C. longitipes, identified through morphological and phylogenetic analyses, with the goal of refining the taxonomy of Chinese Craterellus.
