Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="normal"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Two new genera and four new species of bulbil-forming basidiomycetes are described. Phylogenetic analyses of nuLSU and ITS sequences place them in <italic>Cantharellales</italic>. A facultative lichenicolous species with yellow to orange-yellow bulbils from South America groups with the type of <italic>Burgella</italic> and is consequently described as <italic>B. lutea</italic>. The new species and genus <italic>Burgellopsis nivea</italic> is introduced for material from Scotland with white bulbils overgrowing saxicolous lichens. An obligate lichenicolous species with particularly large, applanate bulbils developing over <italic>Peltigerales</italic> in South America could not be placed accurately using ITS sequences and is described as the new species and genus <italic>Bulbilla applanata</italic>. A European species with brown, facultatively lichenicolous bulbils grouped with <italic>Ceratobasidium</italic> and <italic>Thanatephorus</italic> species and is described as the new <italic>Ceratobasidium bulbillifaciens</italic>.</p> </abstract>
