【 摘 要 】

A new truffle species,Peziza erinisp. nov. (Pezizaceae, Pezizales), is described from xeric oak woodlands in northern California, USA. This fully enclosed and hypogeousPezizais a member of the latex-producingPeziza succosaclade (the /galactinia ectomycorrhizal lineage). This new species is morphologically most similar to the sympatric species,Peziza infossa,but both morphological and molecular data conclusively show thatPeziza eriniis unique. Ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence matches between fruiting bodies ofPeziza eriniand healthy ectomycorrhizal roots ofQuercus douglasiidefinitively show that this new species is an ectomycorrhizal symbiont of oaks in California’s Mediterranean woodlands.
