Abstract
Based on detailed morphological and genetic investigation, 11 new species of Inocybe (I. abdita, I. alcis, I. carissima, I. cryptica, I. culicis, I. mecoana, I. mortenii, I. orioli, I. rangiferi, I. sepiana and I. turfae) are described. Six of the new species are smooth-spored and five are nodulose-spored. The new species are compared to 18 type specimens, all of which are described here and for seven of which (partial) ITS sequences have been generated. For six species, namely I. griseovelata, I. lacera, I. soluta, I. subcarpta, I. tarda and I. transitoria, a lectotype, epitype or neotype was selected, and a description and a figure plate are provided for each of them. Based on our studies, we are convinced that I. albofibrillosa and I. striatorimosa are synonymous with I. soluta, while I. aurantioumbonata is synonymous with I. tarda. Furthermore, we affirm that I. longicystis is synonymous with I. stellatospora. All of the new species are supported by phylogenetic analyses. In summary, we here describe as new, verify the taxonomic status of, or provide or corroborate morphological concepts for 29 species of Inocybe. alpha taxonomy, epitypification, Inocybaceae, Inocybe, molecular systematics, neotypification nrITS, nrLSU, RPB2, type studies.
