A new species of smooth-spored Inocybe from Coniferous forests of Pakistan

<p><em>Inocybe</em> <em>bhurbanensis</em> is described and illustrated as a new species from Himalayan Moist Temperate forests of Pakistan. It is characterized by fibrillose, conical to convex, umbonate, brown to dark brown pileus, non-pruinose, fibrillose stipe with whitish tomentum at the base and smooth basidiospores that are larger (9 × 5.2 µm) and thicker caulocystidia (up to 21 m) as compared to the sister species <em>Inocybe</em> <em>demetris</em>. Phylogenetic analyses of a nuclear rDNA region encompassing the internal transcribed spacers 1 and 2 along with 5.8S rDNA (ITS) and the 28S rDNA D1–D2 domains (28S) also confirmed its novelty.</p>
