Molecular and morphological diversification of the family Inocybaceae (Agaricales, Basidiomycota) in West Africa

Project summary:

The diversity of Inocybaceae is 80 species on the African continent against 1100 species in the world. Through this project will contribute to a clear hiatus of species boundaries within the Inocybaceae, using the combination of morphological studies and DNA sequencing from type collections.
