Pseudosperma neglectum (E. Horak, Matheny & Desjardin) Haelew. comb. nov.

≡ Inocybe neglecta E. Horak, Matheny & Desjardin, Phytotaxa 230(3): 208 (2015). [Basionym]

Note.

The combination of I. neglecta in genus Pseudosperma is made, based on phylogenetic evidence. Horak et al. (2015) presented the phylogenetic reconstruction of an nrLSU dataset and found high statistical support for the Pseudosperma clade ( fide Matheny 2005) including P. neglectum . While P. neglectum was retrieved as sister to the remaining members of the Pseudosperma clade, there was no support for this relationship. The same result was also found by Kropp et al. (2013). In addition, blasting the ITS sequence of the holotype (GenBank acc. no. EU600829) against sequences from type materials, resulted in P. occidentale (Kropp, Matheny & Hutchison) Matheny & Esteve-Rav. and P. illudens (Matheny, Bougher & G.M. Gates) Matheny & Esteve-Rav. with the highest percentages of identity (96.46% and 96.28%, respectively).
