Just published and I am one of the contributors of this big article (over 50 pages). Yang et al. (2024) Heinemannomyces, Hymenagaricus and Xanthagaricus revisited (Basidiomycota, Agaricaceae)/https://phytotaxa.mapress.com/pt/article/view/phytotaxa.659.2.2. In this paper, eight new species of Xanthagaricus are described including three new records from China. Heinemannomyces (H. splendidissimus), a well-known monotypic genus transferred to Hymenagaricus. Interestingly, one species Xanthagaricus necopinatus, originally described from Bangladesh (collected from Chondrima Uddan, Dhaka), now found in China and Thailand. Special thanks to Kun L. Yang for his laborious job and other contributors including section editor and reviewers.
