Morphological and Molecular Study of Lepista sordida in Indonesia

Lepista sordida (Schumach.) Singer (Agaricales) with the unusual growth pattern and stipe character is reported for the first time from West Java, Indonesia. Fresh basidiomata were assessed using morphological and molecular approaches. The morphological characters were observed based on the macro-and micromorphological features. The ITS 4/5 region was used for molecular analysis. A detailed description of basidiomata and the phylogenetic tree is provided. Our result indicated the morphological plasticity of L. sordida. This study is the first contribution of Lepista sordida based on both morphological and molecular evidence in Indonesia.
