Tomentella spinosispora Čížek spec. nov., a new species of the genus Tomentella sect. Alytosporium (Link) Koljalg (Thelephoraceae) is described. It has been collected in the nature reserve Klapice near Radotín in Prague. It is characterised by spores which are globose in front view, some broadly ovoid in lateral view, and by the ornamentation consisting of thin, straight, up to almost 3 μm long spines. Hyphae and basidia are thick-walled, brown coloured. In the basal layer of the subiculum thick-walled, incrustated hyphae with frequent clamp-connections are dominant (clamps are lacking in the subhymenium and medial layers of the subiculum).
