Abstract

A subhypogeous sclerodermataceous fungus was collected in the Eucalyptus plantation of Ibaraki Prefecture, central Japan. Based on morphological observations and phylogenetic analyses using nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences, the present fungus was identified as Scleroderma capeverdeanum, belonging to Sclerodermataceae (Boletales). Scleroderma capeverdeanum is new to Japan and characterized by small-sized (4–10 mm in diam.), sessile basidiomata, yellowish to yellowish brown exoperidium with brownish, areolate to verrucose scales, and echinulate basidiospores. Japanese specimens of S. capeverdearnum are probably associated with introduced E. globulus, and therefore they are most likely exotic species introduced from Australia.
