Abstract
Pairings of monokaryon cultures representing Omphalotus illudens (east ern North America), O. nidiformis (southeastern Australia), O. oleariu s (southern Europe), O. olivascens (North American Pacific coast), and O. subilludens (southern North America) showed widely variable compat ibility patterns. Omphalotus olearius x O. subilludens x O. olivascens showed high compatibility, while O. illudens was significantly less c ompatible with all other taxa. Isolates of Omphalotus nidiformis repre sented an almost genetically isolated biological species. The role of partial compatibility in nomenclatural ranking is discussed.
