Abstract

The species of Ramaria are ecologically and economically important, however,
studies on this genus are very scarce in México. Due to this, a taxonomic study on this taxon
was performed. Three new Ramaria spp. in the subgenus Laeticolora are described from oak
dominated forests of central Mexico: R. persicina is recognized by its pink to pinkish orange
color, nonamyloid context and spore ornamentation of scattered, lobed warts. R. suaveolens
is recognized by its pale yellow color, sweet odor, dendrophysoid hyphae in the stipe context,
mostly smooth spores, and association with Quercus, and R. radicans is recognized by its pale
yellow color, rooting stipe, long smooth spores and dendrophysoid hyphae in the stipe
context.
