In morphology, <em>R. coronaspora</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. is mainly characterized by its distinct spores ornamented with sparse, cylindrical and isolated spines, which resemble coronavirus, and gelatinized pileipellis with pileocystidia mostly septate and sometimes branched; <em>R. minor</em> sp.&nbsp;nov. possesses a very small basidiocarp with pileus less than 2.5 cm in diameter., small basidia, easily peeling and gelatinized pileipellis with slender terminal cells and abundant SV+ pileocystidia. Positions of the two new species in both phylogenetic trees based on ITS and 5-locus sequences (nLSU, mtSSU,<em> rpb1</em>, <em>rpb2</em> and <em>tef1</em>) confirm their distinct taxonomic status.</p>}, number={1}, journal={European Journal of Taxonomy}, author={Song, Yu and Xie, Xiu-Chao and Buyck, Bart}, year={2021}, month={Oct.}, pages={15-33} }
