4C7D4F3FFFDF9A33FF3EF9763686807A.taxon	description	Description: — Pileus 50 – 65 mm wide, pleurotoid, eccentric, irregularly lobed, margins incurved and involute, glabrous without striations, soft to touch and surface white to light pale (2.5 Y 8 / 3). Lamellae deeply decurrent, ventricose, narrow, crowded, light yellow (2.5 Y 8 / 4) with intermixed numerous lamellulae, entire, fertile lamellar edges. Stipe 2 – 3 × 1 – 1.5 cm, short, lateral to eccentric, solid, slightly attenuated at base, upper surface concolorous with the pileus while whitish on lamellar side, no change on bruising, glabrous, and densely matted hyphae present near the base. Volva and annulus absent. Taste and odor not recorded. Basidiospores [80 / 3 / 3] (6.17 –) 6.21 – 8.38 (– 8.41) × (4.75 –) 4.79 – 6.41 (– 6.6) µm, Q = 1.27 – 1.29 µm, Qav = 1.32 µm, ovoid to ellipsoid, round apex, angular in apical view with 3 – 5 longitudinal ridges, thin walled and hyaline in 5 % KOH. Basidia 25.3 – 32.5 × 7.2 – 11 µm, hyaline, clavate to broadly clavate with basal septa and no clamps, rarely two but mostly four sterigmata. Pleurocystidia and cheilocystidia absent. Pileipellis a cutis consisting of agglutinated hyphae ranging from 2.45 – 5.47 µm in diameter, smooth, septate, branched, irregular, hyaline in 5 % KOH, thin walled. Stipitipellis consists of hyphae 2.14 – 4.26 µm in diameter, branched, thin walled, septate, regular, hyaline in 5 % KOH, parallel in arrangement. Clamp connection absent in all tissues.	en	Fatima, Nadia, Usman, Muhammad, Khalid, Abdul Nasir (2022): Clitopilus chichawatniensis sp. nov. (Entolomataceae, Agaricales) from Pakistan.
