New species of global macrofungi discovered in Baishanzu National Park, Zhejiang

China News Service, Lishui, October 12 (Fan Yubin, Ge Mingrui, Chen Junliang, Xie Mengle) The reporter was informed on the 12th that the team of Li Yu , an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the Edible Fungi Research Center of Qingyuan County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, discovered a new global large fungus species in Baishanzu National Park -Nearly blue purple Cortinarius
.

Baishanzu National Park is located at the junction of Lishui Longquan, Qingyuan, and Jingning.
It has a typical mid-subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest ecosystem
.

It is reported that the near-blue purple Cortinarius was found in the evergreen broad-leaved forest at an altitude of about 1,500 meters in Baishanzu National Park by Chen Junliang, Qingyuan County Edible Fungi Scientific Research Center, and has a close relationship with plants such as Dracula vulgaris
.

Under the guidance of Academician Li Yu , traditional taxonomic research methods such as macroscopic features and microstructures were used to extract DNA from fruit body tissues, perform gene amplification and sequencing, and conduct systematic analysis based on ITS.
The results of molecular systematic analysis showed that, This species is independent of a branch and is identified as a new global species, and the new species is named Cortinarius leucocephalus
.

It is understood that Qingyuan has established the " Academician Li Yu Expert Workstation".
Li Yu has visited Qingyuan many times and put forward that "Qingyuan is a rare treasure house of fungal resources, and it is necessary to establish a "one district, one museum and five banks" for the conservation of fungal resources.
The system allows the fungus to be protected and truly sustainable use
.

In September 2019, Qingyuan implemented the project of constructing a germplasm resource bank of edible mushrooms in Zhejiang Province, intending to build the birthplace of lentinus edodes in the world-the germplasm resource bank of wild lentinus mushrooms and the national park wild edible and medicinal fungi "one district, one museum and five banks" species Quality resource conservation system
.

At present, Zhejiang edible fungus germplasm resource bank has been established "one district, one museum and three banks", established two conservation areas for wild mushrooms and boletus edulis germplasm resources, and one conservation area for wild mushrooms by chopped flowers; established fungi 1 diversity display herbarium, 1 scientific research herbarium; build a germplasm bank for ultra-low temperature liquid nitrogen preservation and slant cryopreservation, collect and preserve more than 1,600 wild germplasm resources, establish a bacterial tissue bank, and collect and preserve There are more than 600 bacterial tissues, and a comprehensive information database has been established
