| Summary: | Three new species of <i>Collybia</i> in China, <i>Collybia clavipes</i>, <i>C. carnea</i> and <i>C. violea</i>, are originally reported and described based on morphological characteristics and molecular data. This study provides detailed morphological descriptions of these three new species of <i>Collybia</i>, which can be accurately distinguished from other species within the genus <i>Collybia</i>. Phylogenetic relationships of Clitocybaceae were analyzed using a four-loci combined dataset (ITS-nrLSU-<i>rpb2</i>-<i>tef1-α</i>), and the results show that the three newly discovered species of <i>Collybia</i> form three distinct lineages, respectively. Based on the combination of morphological and molecular methods, these three newly collected species of <i>Collybia</i> are confirmed as new to science. A theoretical basis is provided for the species diversity of <i>Collybia</i>. |
