Table 1.
Scleroderma species included in the molecular analyses with their herbarium and/or isolate numbers, country and GenBank accession numbers of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) nuclear ribosomal DNA.
(n.d.: no data). In bold, new species described in this study.

Phylogenetic tree obtained from Bayesian analysis of Scleroderma species.
Numbers above branches are parsimony bootstrap (MP-BS), maximum likelihood bootstrap (ML-BS) and posterior probability (PP) values. The position of the three new species described in this paper are marked in colours, indicated by the herbarium number (UFRN = UFRN-Fungos); the rest of branches indicated with their respective GenBank accession numbers, indicated in Table 1.
