Abstract
Genetic relationships for several species of the fungus Omphalotus wer e estimated by comparing the presence or absence of restriction sites in the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region of nuclear ribosomal DNA. Results place O . olearius, O. subilludens and O. olivascens in a single clade. Omphal otus illudens, usually thought to be related to O. subilludens, was pl aced in a second clade, more closely related to O. nidiformis. Omphalo tus mexicana is distinct from all other examined Omphalotus species.
