Pluteus - is someone working on this Genus genetically ?

**Steve_mt** · 5. November 2023

Hi, I have sequenced some specimens of Pluteus, and would like to know if someone is working on this Genus and if my DNA sequences from Malta would be handy. I have sequenced this population with slightly yellowish stipe, and the LAB suggested Pluteus cf nanus. I am not sure if it is this species if it the name was not correct when the author of that sequence made a good or bad identification.

Anyway, I would love to hear your opinion on this Pluteus sp.

Hi Steve

There are two recent papers from Antonin et al. about the podospileus and romellii group:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/362262689_Holarctic_Species_in_the_Pluteus_romellii_Clade_Five_New_Species_Described_and_Old_Names_Reassessed

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/373617250_Holarctic_Species_in_the_Pluteus_podospileus_Clade_Description_of_Six_New_Species_and_Reassessment_of_Old_Names

But I don't know if they continue with other Pluteus clades and if they are interested in your sequence. If your collection is really good documentated, you could ask them.

best regards

Dear Raphael,

Many thanks for your feedback. Tomorrow I send the main corresponding author an email and see what I get. Despite DNA analysis via Blast and GenBank, it is not always assured your best-matched sequence has the correct name, hence studies like those you mentioned come useful. Thanks again!
