The studied material fits the original description as well as that of Wright (1987), and it is furthermore supported by ITS sequence data from the holotype. The eight closely related, but still unidentified, species ( T. spp. 6-13) recovered in our phylogenetic analysis (Figure 1b) are in need of further investigation before they can be described as distinct and separate species.

Habitat and European distribution.

Tulostoma kotlabae occurs in dry and exposed habitats such as steppe vegetation and sand dunes, preferably on calcareous, sandy soils. It is, to date, only known from Europe, from where it is on record from Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Russia (S part), Slovakia, Spain, and Sweden ( Calonge 1998, Nitare 1988, Jeppson 2006a, 2008, Rimóczi et al. 2011, Rudnicka-Jezierska 1991, Winterhoff 2000, Wright 1987).
