IS IT Thelephora terrestris? UNRAVELING THE IDENTITY OF HERBARIUM SPECIMENS IN MEXICO THROUGH MOLECULAR AND PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSES
Project summary:
Thelephora terrestris, an ectomycorrhizal fungus linked to Pinus, is taxonomically complex due to morphological variability and absent holotype. This study explores its diversity in Mexico, using specimens from herbaria and field samples. Morphological and molecular analyses (ITS, LSU rDNA) aim to clarify phylogenetic relationships, possibly identifying cryptic species.
