Battarrea phalloides in Macedonia: genetic variability, distribution and ecology
Journal: Acta Mycologica
Year: 2013

Morphological and molecular analyses of &lt;em&gt;Battarrea phalloides &lt;/em&gt;from Macedonia were done. While &lt;em&gt;B. phalloides &lt;/em&gt;specimens shown three kind of spore ornamentation, each one related to a clade in the phylogenetic ITS nrDNA tree; all specimens from Macedonia shown spores with anastomosing truncate ridges and very low variability of the ITS nrDNA sequences. The low genetic variability of these specimens, could be because of genetic drift.
