Three New Ramaria species from central Mexican oak forests

The species of Ramaria are ecologically and economically important, however, studies on this genus are very scarce in México. Due to this, a taxonomic study on this taxon was performed. Three new Ramaria spp. in the subgenus Laeticolora are described from oak dominated forests of central Mexico: R. persicina is recognized by its pink to pinkish orange color, nonamyloid context and spore ornamentation of scattered, lobed warts. R. suaveolens is recognized by its pale yellow color, sweet odor, dendrophysoid hyphae in the stipe context, mostly smooth spores, and association with Quercus, and R. radicans is recognized by its pale yellow color, rooting stipe, long smooth spores and dendrophysoid hyphae in the stipe context.
