A new species of Gomphidius added
Today I added information about Gomphidius tyrrhenicus. This interesting fungus was first describes in 2002 as Gomphidius mediterraneus by D. & M. Antonini. Unfortunately, they did not notice that the name G. mediterraneus was already validly published by Finschow yet in 1978. This made Antonini’s G. mediterraneus illegitimate. Gomphidius tyrrhenicus was therefore published in 2004 to replace this illegitimate name.
Boletales.com still does not have photos of this Mediterranean species. If you do own one and want to provide it, it will very welcome.
