Notes – The genus Hemileccinum was erected with type species H. impolitum (Šutara 2008). Species in this genus can be distinguished by their rugose pileus often covered with inconspicuous subtomentose or pulverulent squamules, unchanging context and hymenophore when bruised, often yellowish punctate squamules on the stipe surface, fusoid basidiospores ornamented with irregular warts, and hyphoepithelium to subepithelium pileipellis. Currently Hemileccinum comprises 15 species (Šutara 2008; Halling et al. 2015; Wu et al. 2016a; Kuo and Ortiz-Santana 2020; Li et al. 2021). Among them, seven species were recorded from China including the new species described below.
