Two Species with Intercontinental Disjunct Distribution of the Genus Cantharellus

Based on materials obtained from Jianchuan and Shangri-La,Yunnan,China,two species with intercontinental disjunct distribution pattern of the genus Cantharellus were reported here: Eastern Asia-Australasia-North America disjunct C.cinnabarinus and Eastern Asia-North America C.formosus.Morphological description and phylogenetic analysis based on LSU nrDNA were made.The results showed that Chinese specimens formerly labeled as C.cinnabarinus turn out to be a taxon to be described and the material presented here represents the true C.cinnabarinus.C.formosus is a new record to China.It is distinguished from its closely related C.cibarius by the much duller Basidiomata.Specimens studied are deposited in Herbarium of Cryptogams,Kunming Institute of Botany,Chinese Academy of Sciences(HKAS).
