Three of them are described as new species, viz. </span><em>C. semidesertorum </em><span>Hauskn. &amp; Kalamees, </span><em>C. obliquopora </em><span>Hauskn. &amp; Kalamees and </span><em>C. uralensis </em><span>Hauskn., Knudsen &amp; Mukhin. A further two and a variety are probably also new but not validly described due to insufficient material. A number of species are new records for Asia, or for Siberia, or for one of the four countries, Georgia, Tadjikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. A number of the species are rarely reported presumably due to their main distribution being in dry, grassy steppezones with soils of high pH values. This mycogeographical element includes e.g. </span><em>C. enderlei, C. graminis, C. herbarum, C. leporina </em><span>and </span><em>C. subxerophytica</em><span>, so far mostly or only known from the steppezone in eastern and central Europe through to Middle Asia. </span><em>Pholiotina altaica </em><span>and </span><em>P. procera </em><span>from Altaj are redescribed from the types. Several taxa are provided with macro- and/or microscopic data, taxonomic descriptions and drawings of microscopic features. The taxonomic reliability of the taxa presented in the literature up to the present time has been reviewed critically. </span></p></div></div></div> ER -
