Frontiers of Biogeography

An undescribed, species of Tricholoma growing in soil in a mixed podocarp and southern beech forest. This species is one of 18 in the genus Tricholoma found in New Zealand that are yet to be formally described. In this issue’s article by Cunningham et al., mushroom-forming fungi, along with lichenized and plant associated fungi, were predicted to experience the greatest increase in new species descriptions.
