Termitomyces bulborhizus sp. nov. from China, with a key to allied species.
The new species, Termitomyces bulborhizus, is described from south-west China. The stipe of the basidiome is swollen into a prominent bulbous base at ground level, and this, together with the floccules on the stipe surface, distinguishes this species within the genus. T. bulborhizus is compared with closely related species, including three originally described from China, and a key to T. bulborhizus and related species is provided.
