Figs. 1, 2.</p><p>MycoBank MB 849435</p><p>GenBank accession number: OQ544589</p><p>Diagnosis:—Differing from other species of Cyphellostereum with distinct stipulate, flattened, flabelliform hymenophores, irregular to pip-shaped basidiospores and loose mycobiont hyphae encircling the cyanobacterial filaments.</p><p>Type:— INDIA. Arunachal Pradesh: East Kameng district, Bameng, near <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=92.95528&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=27.544153" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 92.95528/lat 27.544153)">Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya School</a>, (N 27°32’38.95”, E 92°57’19.00”), on soil, elev. 1301 m, 09-11-2022, S. Nayaka and A. Debnath 22-047553 (LWG-holotype) .</p><p>Description:— Thallus terricolous, on wet soil, crustose, olive green to brownish, filamentous, interwoven with algal mat, undifferentiated, homomerous; hyphae dense at the base of hymenophores, cottony, loose, irregular, simple, hyaline, thin, 2.2–2.9 μm; photobiont cyanobacteria, Rhizonema, filamentous, unbranched, cells thin, in chains, square to cylindrical, 6–8 μm long and 5.1–6.9 μm wide, heterocysts intercalary, pale yellow, 7–8 μm long, 5–6 μm wide; fungal hyphae of mycobiont loosely wrapped around photobiont filaments, encircling the filaments at several points, lacking haustoria, clamp connections lacking or not seen.</p><p>Hymenophores (basidiomata) stipulate, arising from the primary thallus, solitary, stipe narrow, expanding upwards, thin, dorsiventrally flattened, flabelliform, smooth, white to cream-coloured, 1.87–3.77 × 1–3.66 mm; hyphae thick, compactly intertwined; holobasidia scattered 16.7–20.11 × 2.5–5.5 μm, lacking a basal clamp; basidia clavate, bearing four prominent sterigmata; sterigmata thin, slender, 3.5–4.2 × 0.8–1.1 μm; basidiospore s with hilar appendage, simple, asymmetric, thin-walled, smooth, irregular to pip-shaped (tear drop), 3.18–4.9 × 2.06–2.9 μm, inamyloid; basidioles numerous, palisade, clavate 10–15 × 1.5–3.8 μm, lacking hymenial cystidial elements.</p><p>Chemistry:—Thallus and hymenophore K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-; no substances detected by TLC.</p><p>Distribution and ecology:— Cyphellostereum indicum is currently recorded only in East Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh. It was found growing on a wet, vertical surface of a mound of soil on a roadside at an elevation of 1300 m.</p><p>Etymology:—The species epithet refers to its type locality country, ‘India’.</p><p>Phylogenetic analysis:—The phylogenetic analyses confirmed that Cyphellostereum indicum belongs to the Cyphellostereum clade and is unambiguously distinct from other taxa. The sequence of Cyphellostereum indicum formed a well-supported (BS&gt;75 %) separate clade outside a group comprising C. ushimanum H. Masumoto &amp; Y. Degawa (2022: 177), C. unoquinoum Dal-Forno, Bungartz &amp; Lücking (2017: 59), and C. phyllogenum (Müll. Arg.) Lücking, Dal-Forno &amp; Lawrey (2013: 24) signifying its position as an autonomous, independent and well-supported monophyletic lineage (Fig. 3).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E96987C5FFFEFF96369B6DB9FCCDFC4C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
