Description:
Type material and additional collections of 11 taxa of Gautieria described in Europe and North Africa
have been studied, namely G. dubia, G. graveolens, G. morchelliformis var. globispora, G. morchelliformis var.
magnicellaris, G. morchelliformis var. morchelliformis, G. morchelliformis var. stenospora, G. otthii, G. pseudovestita, G. retirugosa, G. trabutii and G. villosa. At the same time, morphological and genetic studies on recent and
herbarium collections from several European countries have been carried out. This enabled clarification of sections
within Gautieria and differentiation of 28 taxa, of which 21 are new to science. However, the deeper relationships
and nomenclature changes related to the phylogenetic position of the genus Gautieria within Gomphaceae will
not be addressed in this study because they would require a more complete molecular analysis together with that
of related genera, e.g., Gomphus, Turbinellus, and the four subgenera of Ramaria. In addition, a lectotype for
G. villosa var. villosa and reference specimens for G. graveolens and G. morchelliformis var. morchelliformis are
selected, and the new combination G. morchelliformis var. dubia is proposed. Detailed descriptions, macro- and
microphotographs and distribution maps of all taxa are provided, as well as extensive information on their ecology,
chorology and phylogeny. A key is included to facilitate identification of taxa.
