Holotype.

ITALY, Trento: "juxta vias", Bresadola (K).

Our sequence data confirm T. fulvellum as a well-defined species in Clade 8, as a sister species to T. lloydii . In agreement with Wright (1987), we consider T. fulvellum to be the valid name for this species.

Habitat and distribution.

Tulostoma fulvellum is a species of humus-rich habitats in shaded to semi-shaded habitats. Reported from Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Slovakia, Spain, and Switzerland; Bataille 1910, Candoussau 1973, Jeppson 2008, Kabát 1987, Monthoux and Röllin 1974, Wright 1987) and Japan ( Asai and Asai 2008).
