Description:While some species of Hygrophoraceae were described by Peck Murrill Singer Hesler and Smith many of the named species in Hygrophoraceae were described from Europe and those European names have been applied to collections from North America. How many of these species on either side of the Atlantic are truly the same species? This presentation will go through a series of paired comparisons of molecular phylogeny and % similarity in ITS barcodes between European species and their American counterparts to address this question.
