Tubaria asiatica (Tubariaceae), a new species from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

A new Tubaria (Tubariaceae) species, Tubaria asiatica is described and illustrated from district Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan, based on morphological and phylogenetic analysis of ITS and 28S sequences. The most closely related species is Tubaria conspersa , but it differs from it due to its pale orange to orange‐tinged dark brown pileus adnate lamellae, dark brown–orange, cylindrical to subcylindrical stipe, oblong, ellipsoid, lacrymoid, rhomboid basidiospores, clavate cheilocystidia and basidia with long sterigmata. Morphological descriptions, colored photographs, microscopic structures and a comparative combined ITS‐28S‐based phylogenetic analysis is presented with reference to the newly described species.
