The Corticiaceae (Basidiomycetes) in Taiwan Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) im Fachbereich 18 Naturwissenschaften am Institut für Biologie der Universität Kassel vorgelegt von I-Shu Lee aus Taiwan 2010 Tag der Mündlichen Prüfung: Kassel, am 26. Mai 2010 1. Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. Ewald Langer 2. Berichterstatter: PD Dr. Roland Kirschner 3. Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. Kurt Weising 4. Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. Friedrich Schmidt Acknowledgement i Acknowledgement It was Prof. Dr. Chee-Jen Chen who introduced me to fungal field, and sent me to Germany for learning further knowledge. I am greatly indebted to Prof. Dr. Ewald Langer, the leader of Ecology department in Biology institute, Kassel University. He taught me the principles and fundamentals of mycology, and has concentrated my attention towards the Corticiaceae in Taiwan. I own them both much thankfulness for their support and teaching during all these years. I also want to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Clovis Douanla-Meli, who has willing to guide me on fungi determination. Moreover, thanks to Torsten Bernauer, who with Dr. C. Douanla-Meli together helped me correct this thesis. We have discussed several collections and text descriptions. My special thanks go to all members of Ecology department. Carola Weißkopf, Inge Aufenanger, and Ulrike Frieling taught me the skills of fungal cultures and related molecular technology. I am also grateful to be the partner with them in this department. Collections came available for study thanks to the kind help of Prof. Dr. C. J. Chen, Prof. Dr. E. Langer, and Dr. Gitta Langer. I render my thanks to Dr. Sheng-Hua Wu in National Museum of Natural Science in Taiwan, for providing many suggestions and ideas to investigate Taiwanese species. I would like to thank Dr. Roland Kirschner in Frankfurt University; he kindly helped me improve this dissertation. My warmest thanks go to my family, whose patience, steady encouragement and charitable support helped me during all the research and write this manuscript. Thanks to my best friends, without your companionship, I could not keep to finish. Contents ii Contents 1.
