Abstract
Favre (1955) reported 10 species (three varieties and one form) of Astrosporina (= Inocybe p.p.) from alpine habitats in the SNP and vicinity. Subsequently this publication became of paramount importance for the identification of arcto-alpine inocyboid agarics having brown angularnodulose spores. The critical revision of Favre’s authentic collections (CHUR, now in GC) revealed however, that several taxa were misidentified by Favre or the outlined taxonomic concepts do not correspond to modern interpretation. Based upon Favre’s material and additional personal topotypical specimens several taxonomical changes and corrections are proposed and discussed. At present, the following 14 species of Astrosporina are recorded from the alpine belt of the SNP where they are associated with dwarf willows (Salix spp.) and/or Dryas octopetala L. (* = new record for SNP):
-
* A. alpigenes Hk. sp. n.
-
* A. asterospora (Quél.) Rea (= I. napipes Lge. ss. Favre, mis ident.)
-
* A. aurea (Huijsman) Hk.
-
A. casimiri (Vel.) Hk.
-
A. concinnula (Favre) Hk.
-
A. eqenula (Favre) Hk.
-
A. giacomi (Favre) Hk.
-
A. humilis Favre & Hk. sp. n.
-
A. lanuginella Schroet. ap. Cohn (= I. decipientoides (Peck) ss. Favre)
-
A. mundula Favre & Hk., sp. n. (= I. decipiens var. mundula Favre)
-
A. oreina (Favre) Hk.
-
A. praetervisa (Quél.) ss. Favre
-
A. pseudohiulca (Kühn. & Bours. ) ss. Favre
-
A. taxocystis Favre & Hk., sp. n. (= I. decipientoides var. taxocystis Favre)
Illustrations and a key to the reported species of Astrosporina are presented. The results of the present revision emphasize not only the difficult delimitation and recognition of the arcto-alpine species of Astrosporina, but also the fact that the majority of their records (cf. list) require re-examination to assess their identity.
