New species of Hymenogaster (Agaricales, Hymenogastraceae) from North China

The genus Hymenogaster has significant ecological value and serves as a food source for numerous small mammals. Although numerous species have been reported from China, most lack confirmation by molecular evidence. In this study, six species of Hymenogaster were newly reported in China based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses, five of which are new to science, and one of which is new to China.

The descriptions and illustrations for new species are provided.
