Five New Hydnellum Fungal Species from China with Morphological and Molecular Data

Five newly described fungal species from the Hydnellum genus, collected from the Changbai and Dabie Mountains in China. The data includes morphological characteristics, species distribution, host information, and phylogenetic analysis files. The dataset was authored by Yonglan Tuo and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic analysis based on molecular sequence data in the provided tree files
• Comparative morphological studies based on described characteristics like pileus features and basidiospore size
• Mapping species distribution patterns for the Hydnellum genus in China
• Training taxonomic classification models using the described morphological traits

Strengths

• Integrated data combining morphological observations and phylogenetic analysis
• Compiles statistics on main morphological characteristics, distribution, and host information for Hydnellum in China
• Describes five distinct new species with specific diagnostic features

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is small at 355.8 KB, indicating limited scope
