Abstract

Anamika gen. nov. is described from southern India with one species, A. indica sp. nov. The genus is characterized by spores with a strongly cavernous ornamentation due to cavernae in the epitunica (perispore), and the possession of cheilo-, pleuro-, and caulocystidia. It seems to be associated with Hopea species (Dipterocarpaceae). Molecular data suggest a close relationship to Hebeloma and Naucoria, but indicate that it represents an independent line of evolution.
