Abstract: Thailand is a biodiversity hotspot for fungi including basidiomycetes. The region is also colonised by dense areas of bamboo of various species. Based on previous data a rich diversity of bambusicolous basidiomycetes is expected to occur in the country. The aim of this study is to investigate the diversity, systematics and ecology of both known and novel bambusicolous basidiomycetes. Additionally, it aims to compile a comprehensive checklist of these fungi in Thailand. This research will also provide essential baseline data, including sequence information, to support future studies on bambusicolous basidiomycetes. Specimens were collected from living and dead bamboo parts in northern Thailand during the rainy season of 2022 to 2023. Collections were examined using both morphological and phylogenetic analyses. Multi-locus phylogenetic analysis was performed using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, and partial nuclear ribosomal large subunit (nrLSU). Published data and online literature were also consulted to document the bambusicolous basidiomycetes of Thailand. This research led to the discovery of 2 new species of Resupinatus, a genus whose taxonomy has long been debated, a first record of Favolaschia bannaensis and Crinipellis trichialis on bamboo in Thailand and, the synonimisation of F. xtbgensis to F. tonkinensis based on morphological and molecular data. Finally, an annotated checklist of bambusicolous basidiomycetes in Thailand including details about collection locality, bamboo host and determining characteristics is also presented. Our study offers valuable insights into poorly documented groups of basidiomycetes, including bioluminescent fungi, and addresses previous taxonomic inaccuracies. The data generated lays a foundation for future research, enabling the identification of new bambusicolous basidiomycete species and exploring their ecological roles and potential applications. Future investigations may focus on the conservation of bamboo species, the use of basidiomycetes in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, and the discovery of additional fungal novelties. In summary, this research significantly advances the understanding of the diversity, systematics and ecology of bambusicolous basidiomycetes, with promising avenues for further exploration.
