Abstract: A new non-coprophilous species of the genus Cheilymenia is described from the Bregava River in the southern Mediterranean region of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Detailed ecological, morphological, biogeographical and phylogenetic characteristics of this intriguing taxon are presented. Comparisons with other similar species and genera establish its unique phylogenetic position, confirming its status as a distinct species.
The genus Cheilymenia (family Pyronemataceae), established by Boudier (1885), originally comprised predominantly coprophilous operculate discomycetes, with only a few species described from other substrates (liverwort, moss, soil). Through decades of dedicated research, the Czech mycologist Jiří Moravec significantly advanced the taxonomy and understanding of the genus, describing numerous novelties […]
