Bellanger 9 Key words Bicolores Cortinarius phylogeny integrative taxonomy Saturnini Telamonia Abstract Cortinarius is the largest genus of ectomycorrhizal fungi worldwide. Recent molecular studies have shown high levels of morphological homoplasy within the genus. Importantly, DNA phylogenies can reveal characteristics that have been either over- or underemphasized in taxonomic studies. Here we sequenced and phylogenetically analysed a large set of pan-European and North American collections taxonomically studied and placed in Cortinarius sect. Bicolores and sect. Saturnini, according to traditional morpho-anatomical criteria. Our goal was to circumscribe the evolutionary boundaries of the two sections, to stabilize both the limits and nomenclature of relevant species, and to identify described taxa which, according to our current understanding, belong to other lineages. Our analysis resolves two clades: /Bicolores, including 12 species, one of which is new to science, and /Saturnini, including 6 species. Fifteen binomials, traditionally treated in these two sections based on morphology, do not belong to the above two phylogenetic clades. Instead, six of these latter are clearly placed in other clades that represent sect. Bovini, sect. Sciophylli, sect. Duracini and sect. Brunneotincti. The presence or absence of blue pigments and the detection of specific odours emerge as clearly misleading taxonomic features, but more surprisingly, spore size and ecology can be misleading as well. A total of 63 type specimens were sequenced, 4 neotypes and 2 epitypes are proposed here, and 1 new combination is made. Article info Received: 13 October 2016; Accepted: 1 May 2017; Published: 10 August 2017. Cortinarius is the largest genus of ectomycorrhizal fungi worldwide, with no less than 4 701 reported taxa (3 360 species, 1 341 infraspecific taxa, http://www.catalogueoflife.org, 28 Sept. 2016 release). However, the number of species greatly varies depending on the morphological species concept accepted by classical authors. Currently, the two major monographs dedicated to the genus are Cortinarius, Flora Photographica (CFP), which includes ± 300 species, mostly from northern Europe (Brandrud et al. 2014), and the Atlas des Cortinaires (ADC), still on-going and which so far recognizes ± 2 500 species, varieties and forms, mostly from France (Bidaud et al. 2015). Recent molecular studies have unveiled high levels of morphological homoplasy as well as numerous cryptic species within the genus, and as a result, do not support the broad species concept of Scandinavian authors or the narrow one of French authors (e.g., Liimatainen et al. 2014a). Importantly, by identifying evolutionary units that are independent of morphoanatomical and ecological traits, DNA phylogenies revealed characters that have been overemphasized in monographic studies but also uncovered significant taxonomic information that has been neglected by previous investigators (Bellanger et al. 2015, Loizides et al. 2016). The use of these modern tools a posteriori, to test the autonomy of previously defined morphological species, has been instrumental in delineating objective boundaries to taxa, and when applied to type material, stabilizes taxonomy and nomenclature at the genus level (Frøslev et al. 2007, Liimatainen et al. 2014b, Cripps et al. 2015). The next challenge of this nascent integrative systematics era is undoubtedly to synchronize the two sources of knowledge, so that on-going monographs introduce morphogenetic species, i.e., taxa that are both assigned formal diagnosis and a unique molecular signature.

Historically, mycologists have attempted to tackle the complexity of Cortinarius by organizing species in hierarchical infrageneric taxa defined on supposedly stable sets of characteristics (Kühner & Romagnesi 1953, Moser 1967, Melot 1990, MoënneLoccoz & Reumaux 1990). In spite of their practical application, most of these lower level taxonomic divisions have proven to be artificial when placed under evolutionary scrutiny (Garnica et al. 2005). Subgenus Telamonia, however, breaks this rule as most of the numerous species known to date that produce dry-capped basidiomata lacking vivid colours – the morphological definition of the subgenus and excluding a few sections as sect. Obtusi, Balaustini, Illumini – form a strongly supported monophyletic clade in all published molecular studies (Peintner et al. 2004, Stensrud et al. 2014). Recently, several sections within Telamonia have been phylogenetically revised, such as InTRoduCTIon 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 © 2017 Naturalis Biodiversity Center & Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute You are free to share - to copy, distribute and transmit the work, under the following conditions: Attribution: You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).

Armillati, Brunnei, Bovini and Disjungendi and more are on their way to morphogenetic redefinition (Niskanen et al. 2009, 2011, 2013, Liimatainen et al. 2014a). ADC (Bidaud et al. 2014, 2015), in which part of the results presented here have been incorporated (Table 1). The specific goals of the present work are: Here we deal with Cortinarius sect. Bicolores and Cortinarius sect. Saturnini, which encompass Cortinarius evernius, C. saturninus and their lookalikes. Initially, the two sections were distinguished by the extent of veil remnants on the stipe, a character considered by some authors to segregate subg. Hydrocybe from subg. Telamonia (Moënne-Loccoz & Reumaux 1990). However, this morphological feature may not be supported phylogenetically, justifying the revision of the two sections altogether (Niskanen et al. 2012). Eight to thirty-three species have been described in sect. Bicolores and sect. Saturnini in the major European monographs, from the pioneering work of Kühner & Romagnesi (1953) to the latest two releases of the 1. to circumscribe the phylogenetic boundaries of the two sections, through the analysis of a large internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA sequence dataset built from pan-European and North American vouchered collections; 2. to stabilize the nomenclature and species limits of morphogenetic Bicolores and Saturnini, through sequencing type material and designating neotype or epitype when opportune; 3. to assign a molecular signature to the numerous collections taxonomically placed in these two sections in contemporary monographs, but that do not belong in the two clades.

Liimatainen et al.: Cortinarius section Bicolores and section Saturnini MATERIAL And METHodS DNA extraction, amplification and sequencing The material analysed in the present work was made available to us by the public herbaria of the University of Helsinki (H, Finland), the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle de Paris (PC, France), the Swedish Museum of Natural History (S, Sweden), the Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de la Ville de Genève (GK & G, Switzerland), the Universität Innsbruck (IB, Austria), the University of Michigan (MICH, USA), and the University of Washington (WTU, USA), as well as by European field mycologists (Table 2). Scandinavian, North American, and part of the French material was extracted, amplified, and sequenced following Liimatainen et al. (2014b). DNA extraction and PCR amplification of most of the French and south European material was conducted with the REDExtract-N-Amptm Plant PCR Kit (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), following the manufacturer’s instructions. The internal transcribed spacers and 5.8S rDNA (ITS) was amplified from each collection, with the ITS-1F/ITS-4b primer pair (Gardes & Bruns 1993) as described in Richard et al. (2015). When no band was detected by agarose-gel electrophoresis analysis, one microliter of the PCR product was used as template in a second PCR using the ITS1F/ITS4 primer pair (White et al. 1990). The remaining, most problematic extracts, were submitted to separate ITS1F/ ITS2 and ITS3/ITS4 PCRs (White et al. 1990). Amplicons were purified and sequenced by Eurofins Genomics, Ebersberg, Germany. Raw sequence data were edited and assembled with Codon Code Aligner 4.1.1 (CodonCode Corp., Centerville, MA, USA) and deposited in GenBank under the accession numbers indicated in Table 2. Datasets Out of the 348 sequences analysed in the present study, 290 (83 %) have been newly generated from vouchered material collected and taxonomically studied by expert field mycologists, biased towards French authors. In an effort to stabilize nomenclature, 63 sequences were obtained from type collections, which, together with 26 additional publically available sequences, represent more than a quarter of type material (89 out of 348) within the whole dataset. Also, to further contribute to fix the usage of some well-known binomials, especially when reference material was not available or not amenable to successful sequencing, we included in the dataset 24 Species Hypothesis representative sequences (‘SH repseq’) from the UNITe database (Kõljalg et al. 2013). These phylogenetic species can be labelled or not and their name may be misapplied, but because they are built from sequences of wide origins, their occurrence in a subclade often extends our knowledge of the biogeographical distribution and sometimes the ecology, of the corresponding species. Dataset 1 (analysed in Fig. 1) includes 343 Telamonia sequences that belong in the /Bicolores and /Saturnini clades as well as collections phylogenetically or morphologically related to species traditionally treated in the two sections, as well as 5 sequences from sect. Anomali and subg. Phlegmacium as outgroup. We intended to define phylogenetic boundaries and robustness of the two sections and to reveal phylogenetically positions of species that were formerly classified in the morphological sections Bicolores and Saturnini, but are not part of the phylogenetic clades /Bicolores or /Saturnini. Datasets 2 and 3 (analysed in Fig. 2 and 3, respectively) focus on the species content of the revised sections and include, respectively, 124 and 131 sequences. Phylogenetic analyses Phylogenetic analyses were all performed online at phylogeny. lirmm.fr (Dereeper et al. 2008) and on the CIPRES Science Gateway (www.phylo.org/index.php/). Multiple sequence alignment was carried out with MUSCLE 3.7 (Edgar 2004) using full processing mode and 16 iterations. When required, alignments were edited with Gblocks 0.91b, set to lowest stringency in the selection of conserved blocks (Castresana 2000, Talavera & Castresana 2007). Maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analyses were performed with PhyML 3.0 (Guindon et al. 2010), using the GTR + I + Γ model of evolution. Branch support was assessed using the non-parametric, Shimodaira-Hasegawa, version of the approximate likelihood-ratio test (SH-aLRT), implemented in the latest release of PhyML and which ensures high accuracy when SH-aLRT > 0.8 (Anisimova et al. 2011, Bellanger et al. 2015). Bayesian inference of phylogeny was performed using MrBayes 3.1.2 (Ronquist & Huelsenbeck 2003). Two runs of four Monte Carlo Markov Chains each were performed for 1 000 000 generations, with stationarity convergence estimated by the Potential Scale Reduction Factor = 1 (Gelman & Rubin 1992). Trees and parameters were sampled every 1 000 generations (1 000 trees). The initial burn-in was set to 25 % (250 trees). A 50 % majority-rule consensus phylogram was computed from the remaining trees with Bayesian posterior probabilities (BPP) reported as percentages on supported branches of the phylograms. Trees were visualized using FigTree 1.4.2 (http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/figtree/) and edited with Inkscape 0.91 (https://inkscape.org/fr/). Morpho-anatomic analyses Microscopic characteristics were observed from dried material mounted in Melzer’s reagent. The pileipellis structure was studied from both freehand radial and scalp sections from the pileus centre. The measurements of the elements of pileipellis were made from scalps. Basidiospores were measured from the veil or top of the stipe. Sporograms depicted in Fig. 4 have been mounted following the method of the ADC, described in Bidaud et al. 1994. Briefly, spores have been observed and measured at the 1 000× magnification and 8 of them drawn and aligned by increasing length order (0.5 µm step). RESuLTS Our analysis resolved two strongly supported clades, referred to as /Bicolores (BPP = 99 %, SH-aLRT = 0.92) and /Saturnini (BPP = 100 %, SH-aLRT = 0.88) in the present work, and that include most representative European species described in sect. Bicolores and sect. Saturnini, respectively (Fig. 1, Table 2). In its current sampling, /Bicolores includes 12 species, each represented by 1 to 23 sequences (Fig. 2, Table 2). Sequencing existing type material and designating 1 neotype (C. cagei) and 2 epitypes (C. dolabratus and C. refectus), we stabilized 9 names and identified 8 synonymous binomials at the species rank. In addition, we describe C. dolabratoides as a new species akin to C. dolabratus and so far found in Finland and France. We postponed naming the North American C. sp1 and the Finnish C. sp2, awaiting further sampling to formally describe them. Overall, our work confirms C. cagei, C. evernius, C. plumulosus, C. refectus and C. tortuosus as genuine members of the revised sect. Bicolores, but it also reveals that C. dolabratus, C. glaphurus, C. hircinosmus and C. turgidipes, previously reported in other sections of Telamonia, actually belong in the section as well. Intraspecific ITS variability in /Bicolores was generally low, with a maximum number of changes Dintra max = 3 nucleotide (nts) in the case of C. dolabratus, representing 0.5 % of sequence divergence. Most species in the clade do not vary at all or only by one substitution and one or two indels in spite of transcon(text continues on p. 185) 178 Table 2 Specimens included in phylogenetic analyses.

Liimatainen et al.: Cortinarius section Bicolores and section Saturnini 185 tinental biogeographical distribution in some cases (Table 3). Minimal interspecific phylogenetic distances Dinter min range from 3 to 9 substitutions plus 2–4 indels, representing 0.5–2 % of sequence divergence. Those are, with one exception, longer than Dintra max for a given pair of sister species clades (Table 3). The topology of /Bicolores strongly supports two distinct lineages within the section, one including C. cagei, C. evernius, C. plumulosus, C. refectus, C. sp1 and C. sp2, and another one including C. dolabratoides, C. dolabratus, C. glaphurus, C. hircinosmus, C. tortuosus and C. turgidipes (Fig. 2). As sampled here, /Saturnini includes 6 species in Europe and North America, each represented by 1 to 44 sequences (Fig. 3, Table 2). Sequencing existing type material revealed a much higher rate of synonymy when compared to species in /Bicolores, with 17 binomials identified as later names for C. confirmatus, C. imbutus, C. lucorum or C. saturninus. A comparatively wider species concept has emerged in this section, as illustrated by the case of C. saturninus, which merged not less than 9 holotypes previously reported to belong in unrelated sections. The considerable rise in species polymorphism resulting from such finding has been dealt with at the infraspecific taxonomic level in the last release of the ADC (Bidaud et al. 2015). In order to stabilize the nomenclature and fix the concept of species widely accepted as genuine members of the Saturnini section – or interpreted by some authors in sect. Bicolores, we designated neotypes for C. saturninus, C. imbutus and C. lucorum (see Taxonomy). Our work also positioned C. stuntzii and a morphogenetic, widened concept of C. confirmatus in the revised section, and it unravelled C. cyprinus as an overlooked species in sect. Saturnini (Fig. 3, Table 2, 3). Intraspecific phylogenetic distances were considerably larger in /Saturnini when compared to /Bicolores, with a Dintra max up to 6 substitutions plus 1 indel, representing 1.2 % of sequence divergence, only considering sequences with trace files (Table 3). The interspecific genetic distance within the clade is of 3 substitutions plus up to 5 indels, representing 0.5 –1.3 % of sequence divergence, except for C. lucorum, which is more distantly related to the other species (Dinter min = 16 substitutions plus 3 indels to C. confirmatus, representing 3.1 % of sequence divergence). Although not significantly lower than in /Bicolores, these distances exceed Dintra max values only for C. cyprinus and C. lucorum (Table 3). The topology of the phylogenetic tree depicted in Fig. 3 indicates that C. lucorum represents an early-diverging lineage in the section and it supports C. saturninus, C. cyprinus and C. stuntzii as part of a distinct lineage within /Saturnini. The wide survey of subg. Telamonia depicted in Fig. 1 also allows phylogenetic positioning of morphological Bicolores and Saturnini, i.e., of those species that have been included in the two sections based on purely morpho-anatomical criteria, but which evolutionary history is unrelated to that of /Bicolores and /Saturnini. Eight binomials usually treated in Bicolores could be assigned to five morphogenetic species (Fig. 1, Table 1): C. cinnamoviolaceus (incl. C. parevernius, C. subparevernius, C. basicyaneus and C. imbutus sensu CFP), C. mattiae, C. parevernioides, C. salicinus and C. disjungendus. Similarly, ten species formerly treated in Saturnini based on morphology, turned out to be phylogenetically distant from /Saturnini. Six of them could further be assigned to other known sections: C. cypriacoides, C. subfirmus and C. illepidus in sect. Bovini, C. saturninoides in sect. Sciophylli, C. oxytoneus in sect. Duracini and C. sciophylloides in sect. Brunneotincti (Fig. 1, Table 1). (text continues on p. 190) 186 Persoonia – Volume 39, 2017 100/0.88 Cortinarius subgen.

To keep the present survey reasonably short, taxonomic descriptions are restricted to the new C. dolabratoides species, and major changes relative to the current use of the other names are highlighted in the notes. Because of its intricate taxonomic relationships with C. imbutus and C. dolabratus, we also provide below a taxonomic update of C. cinnamoviolaceus, even though the species is not part of sect.

Taxonomic descriptions — Bidaud et al. 2008: f. 817 (as C. dolabratus); Brandrud et al. 1998: pl. D60 (as C. imbutus). Notes — This is C. evernius sensu Konrad & Maublanc (1930) and sensu Henry (1937), with smaller spores and raphanoid smell. Our phylogenetic analysis reveals a much wider range of chromatic variability for this species, making it compatible with both sect. Bicolores and Duracini. In addition, the /C. cinnamoviolaceus clade here delineated sheds new lights on the intricate links between these two sections and sect. Saturnini (Fig. 1). Indeed, as redefined here, the species falls outside the three sections but it merges: i. typical Bicolores concepts – C. parevernius and C. cinnamoviolaceus; ii. typical Duracini concepts – C. subparevernius, C. cylindratus and C. contractus; iii. a species defined by its author as intermediate between these two sections – C. basicyaneus; iv. a Duracini concept hiding a phylogenetic Bicolores – C. dolabratus; and v. a Saturnini binomial interpreted by contemporary Nordic authors as a Bicolores species – C. imbutus. When displaying blue tinges, C. cinnamoviolaceus may be confused with C. evernius but the spores of the latter are larger, gills lack reddish hues and the smell is weak or indistinct. Cortinarius mattiae may fruit in the same places and is similar in appearance but the pileus is less dark coloured, not glabrous and almost not hygrophanous, while lamellae display even deeper red tinges. When blue pigments are absent, C. cinnamoviolaceus looks like a Duracini with reddish lamellae and is Persoonia – Volume 39, 2017 nearly identical to C. dolabratus, from which it can fortunately be distinguished by larger spores (9.7 × 5.2 µm vs 8.6 × 4.9 µm, respectively) and stronger smell (Table 3).

Notes — As phylogenetically revised here, Cortinarius sect. Bicolores has been redefined to a rather severe extent, with well-known representative species excluded from the revised section and half of its new content previously described outside Bicolores. The original diagnosis of the section should be emended as follow: young basidiomata usually (but not always) with violet tinges outside and/or in the context. Pileus strongly hygrophanous, yellowish brown, chocolate brown to reddish brown. Stipe cylindrical, often attenuate to rooting, usually with remnants of the white universal veil. Smell indistinct, weakly raphanoid, of cedar-wood, rarely of geosmin (earth-like, dusty). Spores amygdaloid to ellipsoid, sometimes fusiform, (6.5 –)7–12(13) × (4 –)4.3 –7(–7.2) µm (on average: 9.3 × 5.4 µm), verrucose. Widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, fruiting solitary or gregarious, rarely cespitose, mostly under coniferous trees. In its current sampling, it includes 12 species, 10 of which have been or can be assigned a Latin binomial. Cortinarius cagei Melot, Doc.

Notes — Historically, C. cagei was introduced to fix the nomenclatural issue associated with C. bicolor Cooke, an illegitimate name because of an earlier use of the name for another, unrelated taxon. However, by omitting to designate a holotype or other voucher specimen for his new name, Melot did not clarify the taxonomic ambiguity of C. bicolor. Indeed, C. bicolor was initially described as a species with medium-sized spores (10 × 5–6 µm) fruiting under deciduous trees. However, five years later, it was attributed much larger spores (12–14 × 6–7 µm), and also a broader ecology – mixed woods. It is likely that Cooke actually lumped together two phylogenetically distinct, but morphologically very similar species, in his latest diagnosis, making C. bicolor a nomen dubium. As such, the name may just be discarded but the authors of the CFP proposed an interpretation of C. cagei that fits very well the initial concept of C. bicolor. Because: i. the CFP plate D48 is well-known and widely recognized as a good illustration of C. cagei; ii. our work considerably extends our morphogenetic, biogeographical and ecological knowledge of this species; and 191 K. Liimatainen et al.: Cortinarius section Bicolores and section Saturnini iii. there is so far no convincing candidate for the second C. bicolor, even though C. plumulosus has been postulated to represent that one by the authors of the ADC (cf. notes under C. plumulosus), we fix here the species in its primary concept through designating the sequenced CFP1260 collection of plate D48 to neotypify C. cagei. In these new morphogenetic boundaries, C. cagei is described in the ADC under C. minicolor, an obvious lookalike that, however, fruits under coniferous trees. Unfortunately, the holotype of C. minicolor could not be located in PC, preventing phylogenetic placement of the species within /Bicolores. Cortinarius cagei also includes C. periodolens, a Bicolores species described ad interim in the ADC, as a C. obtusus with violaceous stipe and strong iodine smell. Phylogenetically, C. cagei is well resolved due to the absence of any intraspecific sequence polymorphism and of a minimal distance to its sister species C. evernius of 3 substitutions plus 3 indels (Table 3). In the field, confusions are possible with C. refectus and C. plumulosus but spore shape ratios and host trees of the three species should prevent misidentification (Table 3).

Fillion AB 07-08-48*, personal herbarium of A. Bidaud. Notes — Morphologically, C. dolabratoides is reminiscent of its sister phylogenetic species C. dolabratus. Fortunately, the two species can be distinguished microscopically, C. dolabratoides delivering the narrowest spores in the section (width = 3.5 –4.6 –5.0 µm, Av Q = 1.82, Table 3). By comparison, the spores of C. dolabratus are distinctly wider (width = 4.4 – 4.9 – 5.5 µm, Av Q = 1.76, Table 3) and strongly verrucose throughout (Fig. 4b–c). Finnish collections consistently smelled of cedar wood, but this criterion, as a diagnostic feature, may be used with caution since the French material displayed only a weak grass-like odour. At the molecular level, C. dolabratoides differs from C. dolabratus by 3 substitutions only, but is not polymorphic at the ITS locus across its pan-European distribution range, making it well resolved within sect. Bicolores (Fig. 2, Table 3). a b c Fig. 4 Cortinarius dolabratoides sp. nov. — a. In situ photograph of the French collection A.

Notes — The original description of C. dolabratus is apparently not a critical one and a plate later approved by Fries further defined the species as a Duracini with reddish gills. Consistently, the authors of the CFP and of the ADC delivered very similar interpretations of C. dolabratus, both in good accordance with the protologue and compatible with the unpublished plate. However, sequencing the French and Scandinavian materials of this species, unexpectedly, revealed that they are actually phylogenetically distinct and unrelated to sect. Duracini (Fig. 1, 2). Homoplasy is reinforced by our finding that both species encompass collections with or without blue pigments (Table 3). The CFP version of C. dolabratus is part of /Bicolores and is phylogenetically conspecific with C. imbutoides, a species with obvious blue hues described as a typical Bicolores in the ADC. Conversely, the version of C. dolabratus published in the ADC falls, together with three other Duracini binomials, in the clade of C. cinnamoviolaceus, of which it represents a collection lacking blue colour (cf. above). The name is stabilized here in its strict – and original – Nordic sense, through its neotypification with the unpublished plate 181 and by epitypifying it with the widely known and sequenced collection CFP990, illustrated on plate D52 of the Scandinavian monograph. The intraspecific polymorphism of C. dolabratus is the highest in the section a b c d Fig. 5 Type material designated here. — a.

Liimatainen et al.: Cortinarius section Bicolores and section Saturnini (3 substitutions, Table 3) but it should be considered with respect to its wide biogeographical distribution and thorough sampling (23 sequences analysed, Fig. 2). Its sister species, C. dolabratoides, is distant by 3 substitutions (Table 3). Cortinarius dolabratus and C. cinnamoviolaceus share similar ecological niches and can both produce basidiomata with or without blue hues. Fortunately, the distinction of the species is usually fairly easy – the latter has a strong smell of radish, its spores are, on average, larger than those of C. dolabratus, and it is often also more robust than C. dolabratus (Table 3). Cortinarius cinnamoviolaceus has so far been only found in Europe whereas C. dolabratus displays a wide distribution extending to western North America. Cortinarius evernius (Fr.) Fr., Epicr. Syst.

Notes — All contemporary authors seem to interpret this widespread Friesian species the same way and, not considering infraspecific taxa and species described ad interim, no later synonym of C. evernius has been introduced – however, older authors like Konrad and Henry misapplied the name to C. cinnamoviolaceus (see above). Phylogenetically, the species displays very low intraspecific polymorphism despite its wide biogeographical distribution (1 substitution plus one length polymorphism out of 22 available sequences) and is separated from its sister species C. cagei by 3 substitutions plus 3 length polymorphisms (Table 3). In Europe, the species may be confused only with C. cinnamoviolaceus, but the latter strongly smells of radish, has smaller spores and displays a much broader ecological range.

Notes — As redefined here, the concept of C. glaphurus should be substantially widen so as to include those of C. cedriosmus, C. paranomalus, C. tubulosus and C. violaeolens, as well as C. turibulosus sensu Bidaud et al. (2010). The protologue should then be edited as follows: pileus diameter up to 55 mm, pileus dark chocolate-brown to reddish brown, not glabrous and hygrophanous. Stipe not always straight nor isodiametric but often (always?) hollow, with or without blue pigments and with variable amounts of veil remnants that may form a membranous ring. Often cespitose. Odour weakly raphanoid or of cedar wood or viola. Associated with coniferous trees as well as broad-leaved trees (Pinus, Quercus and Fagus confirmed as hosts by ectomycorrhizal sequences). Phylogenetically, the species is a bit polymorphic but is still well separated from its sister species C. tortuosus (Table 3). When collected under Picea abies on calcareous soils and weakly smelling of cedar wood, C. glaphurus may be difficult to distinguish from C. hircinosmus, but the latter produces slightly smaller spores (Table 3). When collected in hygrophilic and acidic soils under coniferous trees, the species may be confused with C. tortuosus, but the latter displays obvious blue tinges on the stipe, blood-red hues in the gills, and is never cespitose.

Taxonomic descriptions — Bidaud et al. 2015: f. 1459 (as C. livor); 2002: f. 575; Niskanen et al. 2012: 850. Notes — This species has been initially described in subsect. Hircini because of the strong smell of C. hircinus and C. camphoratus of the holotype specimens. However, five additional collections from France and Scandinavia, lacking such odour, were later identified in the same clade. As revised here and at least in France, C. hircinosmus fruits under Picea abies on calcareous soils and includes the French concept of C. livor and pro parte, that of C. scriptor. The original binomial is obviously unfortunate for an odourless or weakly smelling species, so, provided additional collections confirm the strong smell of some populations, infraspecific taxa may be introduced to more adequately reflect the organoleptic diversity of the species. Phylogenetically, the species is well resolved (Table 3). In the field, C. hircinosmus may be confused with C. glaphurus (as redefined here), but the latter displays a much broader ecological niche, typically smells of cedar wood and has slightly larger spores (9.3 × 5.2 µm vs 9 × 5 µm, on average). 194 Persoonia – Volume 39, 2017 Cortinarius plumulosus Rob.

Phylogenetically, C. plumulosus is well separated from its closest neighbour C. evernius (7 substitutions plus 3 indels, Table 3). Morphologically, the species resembles C. refectus and C. cagei but the former produces ovoid spores (Av Q = 1.5), the latter fruits under deciduous trees and the cap of C. plumulosus is typically covered by small flakes that are not found on that of its two lookalikes.

Notes — This Friesian name has been interpreted in rather similar ways by past and modern mycologists – with the notable exception of J. Favre, who referred to this species as C. plumbosus – so that C. tortuosus taxonomy is not a problematic issue. The species can be diagnosed by its narrow ecological niche (hygrophilous and acidic soils, with conifer trees) and the special purple-red tinges of the gills that tend to darken upon bruising. The odour is usually reported as null or weak of cedar wood but the conspecificity with C. flabelloides, revealed in this work, indicates that basidiomata can also smell of geosmin (i.e., of earth or dust, as C. variecolor for instance). Phylogenetically, the species is remarkably stable at the ITS locus and is well separated from its sister species C. glaphurus (Table 3). Cortinarius turgidipes Rob. Henry ex Rob.

Taxonomic descriptions — Bidaud et al. 2014: f. 1410 but also 2010: f. 1109 (as C. scriptor). Notes — More collections of this species, originally described in sect. Damasceni by its authors, are required to better assess its morphogenetic variability as well as to define its ecological niche. In its current sampling – limited to the holotype, C. turgidipes is closest to C. dolabratus, from which it differs by 3 substitutions and 4 indels at the ITS locus (Table 3). Notes — No original material was kept by Britzelmayr to assign C. refectus a molecular signature. The diagnosis is not very elaborate but the atypical reported ovoid spores (8 –9 × 5–6 µm, Av Q = 1.5) prompted the authors of the ADC to resurrect this old binomial as their best candidate to the original – i.e., the one with short spores (cf. notes under C. cagei ) – C. bicolor. Although the latter hypothesis cannot be supported here for ecological reasons, the French interpretation of C. refectus does not contradict the protologue and it is compatible with the original plate – although spore drawings on that plate do not really support the protologue. We thus stabilize here the name by lectotypifying it with plate n° 202, and epitypifying it with the sequenced AB 96-09-73 collection from Germany. As delineated here, C. refectus includes the ADC interpretations of C. scriptor (p.p.) and C. testaceoviolaceus. The latter name is, however, misapplied because the holotype of C. testaceoviolaceus falls outside Telamonia (in subg. Myxacium, data not shown). Phylogenetically, C. refectus is well resolved but in the field, it could easily be confused with C. plumulosus and C. cagei until spores examination and host trees are carefully considered (Table 3).

A04 (as C. subtorvus). Notes — All contemporary and past authors agree on the fact that C. saturninus is a collective species, that Fries himself contributed to confuse through multiple diagnoses across his successive monographs, which, in addition, do not fit the plates he later directed. The French mycologist Robert Henry devoted decades of his life trying to sort out this complex, adding to the literature many new names and interpretations (for review, see Bidaud et al. 2015). The simplest way to clarify this issue would undoubtedly be to consider C. saturninus as a nomen dubium and readily discard it. However, the wide use of the name that pertained throughout modern literature and the general consensus about the species illustrated on the plate C09 of the CFP, prompted us to fix C. saturninus in its current, Nordic concept, through the neotypification of the name with the CFP514 collection. Our phylogenetic analysis reveals a tremendously polymorphic species, with no less than 9 holotypes previously thought to be unrelated to sect. Saturnini, falling as later synonyms of C. saturninus. Cortinarius subtorvus and C. cohabitans, usually considered as akin to C. saturninus, are most likely two additional synonyms, although their respective type material could not be sequenced to ascertain conspecificity. This work also establishes that C. oxytoneus, 195 considered by Henry as the most typical form of C. saturninus, is evolutionarily unrelated to sect. Saturnini (sect. Duracini; Fig. 1). As revised here, C. saturninus displays highly apparent ITS sequence polymorphism (Dintra max = 7 substitutions + 3 indels; Table 3) but the latter is essentially driven by two Norwegian (Svalbard) sequences for which no trace file is available. In addition, the one substitution segregating a subclade within the lineage (see * in Fig. 3) could demonstrably be attributed to intra-individual polymorphism. Thus, the unbiased Dintra max in C. saturninus is actually of 4 nt changes, a value that stems from three French collections (PML 75 in one hand and AB 04-10-344 and XC 2002-167 in the other) which may deserve taxonomic autonomy – at the infraspecific rank – when more thoroughly sampled (Table 3, Fig. 3). Although its suspected association with Salix is here demonstrated by the presence in the clade of several ectomycorrhizal sequences isolated from willow roots (within SH094324.07FU, Table 2, Fig. 3), C. saturninus may also be associated with other deciduous, but also coniferous trees. Morphologically, the species displays unprecedented levels of variability that represent a serious issue for field diagnosis. Practically, one should consider C. saturninus as a possible hit – and check the numerous aspects of this species in the last release of the ADC for instance (Bidaud et al. 2015) – whenever collecting a cespitose or gregarious medium-size Telamonia: i) under Salix spp. or other hygrophilous deciduous trees (and Dryas octopetala in the alpine zone), with or without blue hues at the stipe apex and with veil remnants ranging from none to white patches or covering at the cap margin, to copious and web-like covering the whole young fruit body; or ii) under coniferous trees and in this case with a ring and with short (L < 10 µm), ellipsoid spores. Highest risks of confusion are with other members of the revised sect. Saturnini (see notes under C. confirmatus, C. cyprinus and C. imbutus), and, for blue-lacking and densely veiled basidiomata collected under Salix spp. (referred to as C. saturninus ‘aspect’ salicis, ‘aspect’ urbicoides and ‘aspect’ sporanotandus in the ADC), with C. urbicus. The latter species displays more whitish hues on the fresh pileus and is typically less hygrophanous than C. saturninus, with no ‘Kuehneromyces-like’ dehydration. Cortinarius confirmatus Rob.

Notes — In its original concept, C. confirmatus is a cespitose species without blue tinges, fruiting in Mediterranean Quercus ilex woodlands, included by Henry in his sect. Damasceni. As phylogenetically redefined here, the species concept is dramatically widened both morphologically and ecologically, so as to encompass 7 former morphologically delimited species and one variety, caespitose or not, with or without blue hues, and occurring in the Mediterranean area under Quercus spp. or Cistus spp., but also in temperate continental forests, under various deciduous trees as well as under Picea abies. The presence of two ectomycorrhizal sequences from Northern Iran in the clade considerably extends the known geographic distribution of the species, that may occur across a broad Eurasiatic belt. The clade displays the highest sequence variability within the section (Dintra max = 6 nt changes, Table 3) and its topology delineates 3 supported subclades that may, in principle, deserve their own taxonomic autonomy, as well as C. cistoadelphus Bidaud ad int. (Fig. 3). The infraspecific rank should be favoured for such distal lineages because: i. electing these subclades at the species level would leave 8 basal sequences unresolved, in paraphyletic relationships with the 3 recognized species; ii. two of the resulting species would be totally cryptic, as none of the morphological, ecological or geographical features identified in the inclusive clade segregate into the two relevant subclades; and iii. the third subclade, which overlaps with the cisticolous C. assiduus var. plesiocistus and C. bulbosovolvatus, has already been assigned a varietal rank, on morphogenetic bases (Ortega et al. 2007). Thus, in a conservative approach and following an integrative method of species limits delineation, here we define C. confirmatus within the boundaries of its most inclusive clade and introduce C. confirmatus var. plesiocistus (A. Ortega, Vila & Bidaud) comb. nov. to accommodate the cisticolous populations. Future studies may unveil cryptic criteria to diagnose the two other subclades. When collected under meridional oaks or Cistus spp., C. confirmatus cannot be misidentified as one of the other Saturnini members, as none of the latter have so far been reported in the Mediterranean area. However, in more continental locations, especially in mixed deciduous forests, the species may co-occur with C. saturninus, C. imbutus and C. cyprinus and the risk of confusing these taxa is high. In this biome, C. confirmatus differs from its morphogenetic lookalikes by one of the following combinations of features: i. absence of veil remnants on the stipe and not fruiting densely cespitose; or ii. abundant veil remnants on the stipe and densely cespitose under Populus alba (‘aspect’ paracohabitans); or iii. reddish hues on the cap and densely cespitose under Betula pendula (‘aspect’ rubricosissimus).

Taxonomic description — Bidaud et al. 2015, f. 1443. Notes — This recently described species used to be called C. saturninus var. bresadolae or C. cypriacus by French authors but in the field, C. cohabitans (= C. saturninus) and C. circumvelatus (= C. lucorum) are likely the first names that come to the collectors’ mind, due to the crown-like veil remnants at the pileus margin, violet hues in young lamellae and gregarious fruiting under hygrophilous deciduous trees. However, molecular analysis of the large herbarium of the authors of the ADC unveiled phylogenetic autonomy of a subset of collections that differ from other Saturnini members by very reduced veil remnants on the stipe that never form a ring, and occurrence so far restricted to calcareous soils. As currently sampled, the species seems rather widespread in France but it has been rarely reported elsewhere, as it is represented by a single collection from southern Norway and possibly an additional one from Estonia (TAAM128765/UDB016164). Phylogenetically, C. cyprinus is sister to C. saturninus, from which it differs by 3 substitutions and 2 indels (Table 3). The ITS sequence of the French collections and of the Norwegian collection are 100 % identical, and they differ from the Estonian sequence by substitutions. The lack of publically available trace file for UDB016164 prevents us from critically examining these polymorphisms and the possible conspecificity of TAAM128765 with C. cyprinus. Further taxon sampling and sequencing of Estonian Saturnini collections will be necessary to clarify this issue and to better estimate the intraspecific variability of the species at the ITS locus.

Taxonomic descriptions — Bidaud et al. 2015: f. 1445 –1447. Notes — The two major contemporary interpretations of C. imbutus are in marked contrast, as the CFP authors consider the species in sect. Bicolores, while those of the ADC place it in sect. Saturnini. The Friesian diagnosis of C. imbutus is, as often with old names, not precise enough to support a single, unequivocal interpretation. However, Fries described his species between C. saturninus and C. cypriacus, indicating that the original concept would be naturally placed in sect. Saturnini. Our work reveals that the French version of C. imbutus is one of the morphogenetic Saturnini, widely distributed across the northern hemisphere, whereas the CFP one corresponds to a blue-pigmented collection of C. cinnamoviolaceus (and is then conspecific with the French C. dolabratus, see notes under this species). We thus here stabilize the name in the revised sect. Saturnini, by neotypifying it with the sequenced IK97-1162 collection from Finland. Phylogenetically, C. imbutus is rather polymorphic at the ITS locus (Dintra max = 3 substitutions + 1 indel) and simultaneously very close from its closest species C. confirmatus (Dinter min = 3 nt changes, Table 3). Morphologi- 197 K. Liimatainen et al.: Cortinarius section Bicolores and section Saturnini cally, C. imbutus is quite variable, especially regarding the colour of the pileus and the intensity of blue tinges in basidiomata. Typically, the species fruits under deciduous trees in hygrophilous places but collections (referred to as C. imbutus ‘aspect’ laccatus in the ADC) have been reported in pure coniferous forests. In the field, C. imbutus may easily be confused with C. confirmatus, C. cyprinus and most notably C. saturninus, which can occur in similar habitats. Combining the 3 following criteria – not diagnostic on their own – should help identifying C. imbutus from its evolutionary siblings: i. the lilac-greyish, not violaceous, hues of young lamellae; ii. elongated spores (Av Q > 1.8, Table 3); and iii. copious veil remnants on the stipe. Macrochemistry may be useful as well to distinguish C. imbutus from C. confirmatus (gaïacol and silver nitrate), although the reliability of these reactions is still questionable.

Notes — In Nordic countries, this widespread species is tightly associated with Populus spp. and it is well known, in large part thanks to the plate C10 published in the CFP. North American mycologists, following Kauffman’s footsteps, sometimes name this species C. umidicola, even though the latter binomial has been originally applied to a mushroom fruiting in conifer forests, e.g., Tsuga (Kauffman 1932). French authors described it repeatedly, as C. circumvelatus, C. incarnatolilascens and C. montis-dei, on the basis of deviating macromorphological or ecological features while oddly, their initial – pre-molecular – concept of C. lucorum does not belong to /Saturnini (cf. C. cypriacoides in Fig. 1). Fries does not mention violaceous tinges on the stipe nor the typical crown-like veil in the protologue and he does not give much detail about the lamellae. However, his concept does not contradict the contemporary one in use in Nordic countries, so in order to stabilize C. lucorum, we here neotypify the name with the sequenced Norwegian collection CFP490 of plate C10. Our phylogenetic analysis slightly alters the morphological definition of the species (see above) and provide information on its biogeography and its extended ecological niche. Indeed, as revised here, C. lucorum can be collected under Populus spp. – with proven association through ectomycorrhizal sequences found in the clade – on both continents, but it also fruits under other hygro- philous deciduous trees, at least in France and, more surprisingly, under Tsuga and Picea. Phylogenetically, the species is well separated from the rest of Saturnini members, with a Dinter min far exceeding Dintra max (Table 3). Interestingly, the topology of the clade segregates, by a 1 substitution each; i) North American populations from European ones; and ii) European populations fruiting under deciduous trees from the ones fruiting under coniferous trees – referred to as C. lucorum ‘aspect’ incarnatolilascens in the ADC. Such finding, if confirmed by further sampling, would support the autonomy of concerned collections at an infraspecific rank. The identity of C. umidicola with C. lucorum remains provisional because the sequence we obtained from Kauffman’s syntype encompasses only the ITS1 domain. Thus, although 100 % identical to the Populusassociated Canadian collection TN10-002 along this part of the ribosomal locus (the basal-most and unsupported branch of the clade in Fig. 3 is artefactual and likely results from the shorter sequence of C. umidicola), one cannot preclude additional differences to take place in the ITS2 domain, splitting the two species apart. When occurring under Populus spp. or other hygrophilous broadleaved trees, and considering the massive fruiting and typical crown-like veil, C. lucorum might only be confused with C. cyprinus and C. saturninus, but these species are usually less robust and their spores are much smaller (Table 3).

Notes — This stout species densely fruiting under Salix exigua and S. rigida, so far known only from a small location of North-western USA, was compared to C. umidicola and C. subtorvus in the original publication, compatible with a placement into sect. Saturnini. However, a positioning elsewhere in subg. Telamonia, or even in subg. Sericeocybe – due to its low hygrophaneity – has also been invoked. The present work unambiguously establishes C. stuntzii as a genuine Saturnini, phylogenetically most closely related to C. saturninus, from which it differs by 3 substitutions and 5 indels (Table 3). Not considering biogeography, so far restricted to the type locality, the species is easily distinguished from other Saturnini members by its unusually large spores, up to 14.4 µm long and 8.5 µm wide (on average: 11.5 × 6.7 µm, Table 3).

C. cyprinus dISCuSSIon The present work significantly updates our knowledge of Cortinarius, by revealing the number and the limits of species within sections Bicolores and Saturnini. It also places phylogenetically the morphological species described in these sections that do not belong in /Bicolores or /Saturnini, illustrating the homoplasic nature of morphological traits traditionally used to delineate boundaries of these sections and their relations to other sections such as Bovini, Disjungendi, Duracini, Hydrocybe and Sciophylli. What do we learn about species? The major advanced molecular tools bring to taxonomy the ability to identify natural relationships between taxa, including those previously regarded as unrelated, to reveal cryptic species, and to correct species boundaries which were based on the use of non-diagnostic morphological traits. Sequencing numerous materials from sect. Bicolores and sect. Saturnini as well as species falling outside these sections, we identified 10 morphogenetic species and 2 phylogenetic species in sect. Bicolores, and 6 morphogenetic species in sect. Saturnini, including C. cyprinus as a cryptic species. The sequencing of type materials showed that 25 binomials are later synonyms of the 15 revised names. The limits of only two species – C. glaphurus and C. dolabratus – in sect. Bicolores have been significantly altered after phylogenetic analysis, whereas all previously known species in sect. Saturnini have been severely redefined following molecular revision, except C. stuntzii, represented by only the holotype collection. In most cases, several morphological species are nested in single evolutionary units as a result of overreliance in the past on often non-diagnostic morphological traits. The presence of blue hues and the detection of a specific odour are among the most misleading taxonomic features unveiled in this work, as they have led to the erroneous autonomy of C. assiduus, C. denseconnatus, C. gramineus, C. imbutoides, C. phaeoruber, C. rastetteri, C. umbrinoconnatus, and C. cedriosmus, C. flabelloides, C. periodolens and C. violaeolens, respectively. Pigments and volatiles of basidiomata, as the products of the fungal secondary metabolism, are expected to display some levels of variability in response to environmental cues. Similarly, differences in the habit or abundance of veil tissue on fruit bodies, that was used to segregate e.g., C. circumvelatus, C. fulvorimosus, C. parvulior or C. salicis from their evolutionary lineages, might be explained by soil features or weather conditions at, or preceding fruiting. More surprising is our finding that spore size and ecology also can be misleading, as illustrated by the lack of phylogenetic autonomy of C. sporanotandus, which produces much smaller spores than other C. saturninus collections, and C. deceptivus, C. incarnatolilascens, C. laccatus or C. umidicola, which are 199 K. Liimatainen et al.: Cortinarius section Bicolores and section Saturnini all associated with different host trees within their respective clades. Spores and host plants are usually considered as reliable elements for taxonomic purposes because anatomy of the reproductive structures and the complex molecular machinery involved in mycorrhizal recognition are expected to have higher selective pressure when compared to macroscopic features, which are more prone to homoplasia. Part of our findings may be explained by abnormal individuals or spectacular ecological plasticity of species in sect. Saturnini, but the relatively high levels of polymorphism revealed in C. confirmatus rather support on-going and cryptic speciation in this lineage. Thus, we believe species limits delineated in the present work, especially in the revised sect. Saturnini, are more conservative than what short interspecific phylogenetic distances may suggest. What do we learn about sections limits? The segregation of sect. Saturnini within Cortinarius has been intricately linked to that of separating subg. Hydrocybe from subg. Telamonia, on the basis of the presence or absence of veil remnants on the stipe (Moënne-Loccoz & Reumaux 1990). However, such splitting is not phylogenetically supported, making Hydrocybe an artificial grouping and stipe ornamentation a confounding taxonomic criterion within Telamonia. As a result, species previously described in sect. Saturnini are not expected to form a single monophyletic lineage but are rather likely to share evolutionary history with members of other sections in the subgenus, especially the blue-coloured species from sect. Bicolores. Consistently, only 5 out of the 14 species recently described in sect. Saturnini in the ADC belong in that section. The remaining morphological species are distributed across Telamonia and illustrate the overlap of the original section with sect. Sciophylli (C. saturninoides), defined to accommodate very similar blue taxa, but more hygrophanous than genuine Saturnini, and revised sect. Bovini (C. cypriacoides, C. illepidus and C. subfirmus), so far not supposed to include blue Telamonia species. Species previously included in sect. Saturnini also displayed obvious common features with sect. Duracini, as assessed by the presence of C. oxytoneus, considered by Henry as one of Fries’ C. saturninus, in sect. Duracini (Fig. 1). Similar but somewhat reversed cases are the presence in the revised sect. Saturnini of C. confirmatus, C. denseconnatus and C. fulvorimosus, originally described in sect. Duracini. The expected overlap of morphological characters in sect. Saturnini and sect. Bicolores is best illustrated by the case of C. laetior P. Karst., placed by its author in the trilogy saturninus-imbutuscypriacus, but shown here to belong in sect. Bicolores (Fig. 2). Interestingly, the present work yields strong phylogenetic support to the prospective placement or overlap of the morphologically defined sect. Bicolores and sect. Duracini. Natural relationships or transitions between these two sections have long been commented on by classical authors, on the basis of very similar habits and the suspected weakness of the ‘blue colour’ criterion in Cortinarius systematics (Melot 1990, Frøslev et al. 2007). However, the issue was virtually impossible to address in the absence of molecular data and the revision of C. cinnamoviolaceus here sheds decisive light on this issue. Indeed, although not part of /Bicolores and phylogenetically unrelated to sect. Duracini, this species is built from concepts that typically belong in traditional Bicolores (C. cinnamoviolaceus, C. parevernius, and C. imbutus sensu CFP), in traditional Duracini (C. contractus, C. cylindratus, C. subparevernius and C. dolabratus sensu ADC), or somewhere in between the two sections (C. basicyaneus). This unexpected assemblage within a single evolutionary species somehow cracks the code of the secret dialog between the two sections, revealing the totally artificial nature of their main diagnostic feature, i.e., the presence/absence of blue pigments in fruit bodies. Knowing C. cinnamoviolaceus natural boundaries is instrumental in considering the revised concept of C. dolabratus, here epitypified in the revised sect. Bicolores despite the fact that all authors have initially placed the species in sect. Duracini. The case of C. turgidipes also illustrates this overlap of traditional sections, as the holotype of this morphological Duracini nests within /Bicolores. It should be concluded from these examples that the presence/ absence of blue pigments has been overemphasized in the definition of all morphospecies cited above but also in that of sections Bicolores, Saturnini and Duracini. Strength and limits of integrative taxonomy Higher Fungi systematics has been entirely built on the identification and hierarchical organization of visible characteristics – both macroscopic and microscopic, that were supposed to be stable within a given taxon and which in combination were supposed to be diagnostic of each species. The necessarily subjective nature of the selection process involved in this approach has led to highly artificial groupings at multiple taxonomic levels (i.e., Aphyllophorales, Clavariaceae, Clitocybe, Gasteromycetes) and to divergences in the concept of species that culminate in the genus Cortinarius. Unravelling evolutionary history of Fungi through molecular phylogenies had tremendously impacted taxonomy, in part because characteristics that delinate a lineage with high taxonomic value can now be distinguished from those, less valuable and taxonomically overemphasized, which have appeared repeatedly in distant branches of the fungal tree of life. However, if more natural, the alternate organization of taxa that emerges from these molecular analyses brings contemporary mycologists the major challenge to uncover phylogenetically supported sets of features that will be diagnostic of each morphogenetic taxon. This process, especially in the species-richest genus Cortinarius, is certainly the most time-consuming part of the revision work and importantly, it heavily relies on the skills of expert field taxonomists, not phylogeneticists.
