Description
Summary:Otidea saliceticola, a species collected in arctic-alpine habitats of the Italian Alps, is proposed as new to science. The new species is supported by its morphology, genetic profile and ecology. A discussion on the affinities with members of the so-called “bufonia clade” is presented. Color pictures of both fresh and dried samples as well as microscopic features are provided
