The basidioma color of L. haizhuensis is also similar to L. auricoma . However, L. auricoma differs by its larger basidiomata (pileus up to 25 mm broad), covered with orange to yellowish orange flocci on pileus surface and smaller basidiospores (5–7 × 3–4 µm) (Takahashi 1999).</p><p>In nrITS-LSU phylogenetic tree (Fig. 1), L. haizhuensis is closely related to L. taniae, both species have convex pileus, variably shaped cystidia, and similar-sized basidiospores. However, L. taniae, originally described from Spain, is different from L. haizhuensis in having larger basidiomata (pileus up to 15 mm broad), orange to reddish brown pileus, creamy or isabelline lamellae, brown to light orange stipe, 4 - spored basidia (Vila 2002; Antonín et al. 2019). In nrITS phylogenetic tree (Fig. 2), this new species is placed within Leucoinocybe clade, forming a relatively independent clade, and is closely related to L. danxiashanensis and L. papillata . However, L. danxiashanensis is distinguished from L. haizhuensis in having larger basidiomata (pileus 7–22 mm broad), light brown to brownish orange pileus, sinuate to free lamellae, narrower basidiospores (6.5–8.5 × 4.5–6.0 µm), and mostly 4 - spored basidia; L. papillata, originally described from Pakistan, is different from L. haizhuensis in having larger basidiomata (pileus up to 16 mm broad), campanulate with a distinct papilla, mustard brown to turning light brown pileus, sinuate lamellae, smaller basidiospores (4.8–7.4 × 3.9–5.8 µm) and absent cystidia (Cazabonne et al. 2025). Besides, L. danxiashanensis and L. papillata also differ in growing on forest soil, the ecological characteristic that clearly distinguishes them from L. haizhuensis .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/38BDA634E8B351139996526ACAC2CE1A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
