Pileus 6.0–8.0 mm wide, convex, slightly umbonate, bluish grey to blackish blue (20 F 3–5), darker at center, paler toward margin, margin entire, slightly involute. Lamellae moderately distant, 0.5–1.5 mm wide, adnate, ventricose, with two tiers of lamellulae, paler greyish blue (21 C 5), edge serrate to crenate, concolorous. Stipe 7.0–16.5 × 1.2–2.0 mm, central, terete, slightly broadened downward, hollow, blue-black to dark blue or greyish blue (20 E 5–20 D 4), the surface is covered with white, velutinous to fibrillose-scales, base with white tomentum. Odor and taste not recorded.</p><p>Micromorphology.</p><p>Basidiospores (7.5) 8.5–10.5 × 6.5–8.0 (8.5) μm, av = 9.4 × 7.2 μm, Q = 1.2–1.3 (Qm = 1.29 ± 0.03, n = 52), heterodiametrical, 5–7 - angled in profile view, thick-walled, appearing nodulose, inamyloid. Basidia 37.0–54.5 × 9.0–12.5 μm, clavate, 4 - spored. Pleurocystidia absent. Lamellae edge sterile, poliopus-type. Cheilocystidia clustered on lamella edge, 9.5–25.5 × 3.0–6.0 μm, narrowly clavate to subcylindrical. Lamellar trama regular, hyphae cells 3.5–6.0 µm wide. Pileipellis a trichoderm made up of clavate terminal cells, 5.5–16.0 μm, slightly constricted or level at the septa, with rounded or acute ends and dark brown vacuolar pigment. Stipitipellis transitional between cutis and trichoderm, composed of hyphae 4.0–8.0 μm wide, slightly constricted at septa, apices rounded, with brilliant granules abundant. Clamp connections absent.</p><p>Habitat.</p><p>Scattered on mixed forest floors dominated by broad-leaved trees, such as Pinus spp. and Pterocarya spp.</p><p>Additional specimens examined.</p><p>China • Fujian Province, Wuyishan, 16 August 2023, collected by Nian-kai Zeng, Cheng-feng Nie, Hua-zhi Qin, Hui Deng, Tian Jiang, Run-xiang Zhao, HFJAU 5723 .</p><p>Notes.</p><p>Considering the characteristics of this species, such as a darker-colored center on the pileus, blue stipe, and sterile lamella edges of the poliopus-type, this species can be classified into the subg. Cyanula sect. Asprella (Noordeloos et al. 2022 a) . However, it is impossible to classify E. qingluan into any of the subsections under this group based solely on morphological characteristics. Morphologically, this species is most similar to E. cistocruentatum Vila, Noordel. &amp; Dima. However, E. cistocruentatum has fertile lamellae edges, lacks cheilocystidia, and possesses blue pigment in the pileipellis (Noordeloos et al. 2022 b).</p><p>Morphologically, the new species is easily confused with E. cyaneolilacinum Noordel., J. B. Jordal, Brandrud &amp; Dima. Both have a blue pileus and stipe, similar-sized spores, and brown vacuolar pigment in the pileipellis. However, the latter has a pileus with translucent stripes, emarginate lamellae that are white with a faint bluish tinge, fertile edges, and lacks cheilocystidia (Crous et al. 2021 a). In addition, E. azureosquamulosum Xiao L. He &amp; T. H. Li, discovered in southern China, also shows considerable similarity to this species. Both exhibit tricholomatoid basidiomata, with a blue pileus, adnate lamellae, sterile lamella edges, regular lamellar trama, and trichoderm pileipellis. However, E. azureosquamulosum has white to pink lamellae with a blue-tinged edge, fusoid cheilocystidia, and caulocystidia (He et al. 2012).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B5AC2507D11D5C059637AB662D58A161	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Pileus 8.0–10.0 mm wide, convex with slight central umbilicate depression, not hygrophanous, margin entire, surface densely covered with fibrous scales, greyish-magenta (14 E 6), margin and center dark purple (14 F 5), striate from the margin to the center. Lamellae moderately distant, decurrent to slight sinuate, white with a slight pinkish tinge, edge entire, bluish marginate adjacent to the stipe, with two tiers of lamellulae. Stipe 20.0–25.0 × 1.0– 1.5 mm, central, terete, equal, hollow, dark blue (20 E 5); surface covered with white velutinous scales; base with white mycelium. Odor and taste not recorded.</p><p>Micromorphology.</p><p>Basidiospores (8.5) 9.0–12.0 (13.0) × (6.5) 7.0–8.5 μm, av = 10.7 × 7.6 μm, Q = 1.2–1.6 (1.7) (Qm = 1.4 ± 0.1, n = 50), heterodiametrical, 5–8 - angled in profile view, appearing nodulose, thick-walled, inamyloid. Basidia 29.0–41.0 × 7.0–12.0 μm, clavate, mainly 2 - spored, rarely 4 - spored. Lamellae edge fertile. Cheilocystidia and pleurocystidia absent. Lamellar trama regular. Pileipellis a trichoderm of cells 7.0–19.0 μm in diameter, cylindrical, slightly constricted at the septa, with cylindrical these terminal cells filled with sepia brown vacuolar pigment. Stipitipellis a cutis of densely arranged cylindrical hyphae 7.0–19.0 μm wide, slightly constricted at the septa, with terminal cells cylindrical to narrowly clavate and with rounded apices. Clamp connections absent.</p><p>Habitat.</p><p>Scattered on the ground surface of broad-leaved forests and attached to the soil.</p><p>Notes.</p><p>Based on the presence of scales and striations on the pileus surface, a blue stipe, and a fertile lamellae edge, the new species can be classified into sect. Asprella subsect. Cyaneolilacina . Only one species is known in this subsection: E. cyaneolilacinum Noordel., J. B. Jordal, Brandrud &amp; Dima. However, it can be clearly distinguished from the new species by its deep blue to paler lilac-blue pileus, up to 25 mm in diam., and the absence of 2 - spored basidia (Crous et al. 2021 a).</p><p>The new species is morphologically similar to E. violaceoviride Arnolds &amp; Noordel. Both have a greyish-magenta pileus with striations and scales. However, the latter has a papillate umbo on the pileus, adnexed lamellae that are initially violaceous then become violaceous-pink, and a stipe that is pale greyish green at first, and then gradually changes from the base upward to bluish-grey with a greenish tinge, with the apex remaining pale green, as well as sterile lamellae edges (Noordeloos 2004). In addition, the new species also shares certain similarities with E. melongenicolor Noordel. &amp; Hauskn. from Africa (Mahé Island, Seychelles). Both have umbilicate pileus centers, blue stipes, similarly sized spores, fertile lamellae edges, and cheilocystidia absent. However, the latter has an aubergine-colored pileus, pale brick-red lamellae, and a pileipellis with bluish-brown vacuolar pigment (Noordeloos and Hausknecht 2016).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4BC75BCA73C156DFA950543E2A7025F4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
