Moreau, P.-A., J. Vila, M.A. Perez-de-Gregorio, J. Llistosella & X. Llimona. Hemimycena conidiogena, a new cistophilous basidiomycete. Mycotaxon 91: 323-332. 2005.

ABSTRACT: An ecological study of Cistus vegetation in Catalonia (Spain) revealed the existence of a previously undescribed species of Hemimycena section Lacteae characterized by a yellowish tinge on mature basidiomata and the production of blastoconidia on cap and stipe. This species, close to H. lactea, is described as Hemimycena conidiogena. Ecological distribution, taxonomical affinities, systematic position and nature of blastoconidia are discussed.
