Abstract: Tatraea dumbirensis has been recorded in several European countries. We report specimens collected on decaying beech wood at Alfedena (province of L’Aquila, Abruzzo, Italy), at 1100 m a.s.l. on 5 September 2025. We describe their macroscopic and microscopic characters and compare them with published accounts. Identification is supported by morphology and ITS analysis: the Italian sequence groups with the European reference sequence of T. dumbirensis (MK907417) in the phylogenetic tree. This species had already been reported from Italy by Jamoni (2005), thus the Alfedena collection represents an additional Italian record.
Helotium dumbirense Velen. was described by Velenovský in 1934 from a collection made by K. Cejp in 1930 on Mount Ďumbier, in the Low Tatras (Velenovský, 1934; Baral et al., 1999). The accepted name is Tatraea dumbirensis (Velen.) Svrček, a combination proposed by Svrček (1993) […]
