GILBERTSON Department of Plant Pathology, University of Arizona, Tucson 85721 AND H. H. BURDSALL, JR. Center for Forest Mycology Research, U.S. Forest Service, Madison, Wisconsin 53705 SUMMARY Phellinus torulosus (Pers.) Bourd. et Galz. has been found in two mountain ranges in southeastern Arizona. It occurs at elevations of 8,000 ft or above, mostly on southwestern white pine (Pinus strobiformis Engelm.) in which it causes a white pocket rot of the roots. It is clearly distinct from Phellinus gilvus (Schw.) Pat., with which it has been con- fused in the past. The fungi currently placed in the genus Phellinus Quél, are ligni- colous Hymenomycetes in the order Aphyllophorales. They are char- acterized by perennial basidiocarps with the hymenophore in the form of united tubes and borwn context tissue that permanently darkens to black in KOH solution (xanthochroic reaction). Setae are present in the hymenium of some specids and basidiospores are hyaline or pig- mented. The hyphae lack clamp connections. The species of Phellinus are all associated with white rots and in culture typically give a posi- tive oxidase reaction on tannic and gallic acid media or with gum guaiac solution. In older taxonomic works the species now placed in Phellinus are found in the genera Fomes (Fr.) Kickx and Poria (Pers.) S. F. Gray of the Polyporaceae sensu lato. In current systems of classifica- tion Phellinus is placed in the family Hymenochaetaceae Donk. Persoon first described Polyporus torulosus from Europe in 1825, and the transfer to Phellinus was made by Bourdot and Galzin in 1925. The combination Fomes torulosus (Pers.) Lloyd is also well established 1 The University of Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station journal article No. 1858. 1259 MYCOLOGIA, VOL. 64, 1972 in the literature. The fungus is well known in Europe, and has been reported to be widely distributed on many species of woody angiosperms and some conifers in the warmer regions of western and southern Europe, the USSR, and Japan (see Bourdot and Galzin, 1928; Pilát, 1936 ; Bondarzew, 1953; Domanski' et al., 1967 ; Jahn, 1967 ; Ito, 1955). Most of these publications state that P. torulosus occurs in North America. These records are apparently based on reports by C. G. Lloyd of P. torulosus from North American localities. Phellinus torulosus was first reported to occur in North America by Lloyd in 1910. The collection on which this report is based was made from the trunk of a live oak in Audubon Park, New Orelans, La., by C. W. Edgerton. We have examined the specimen (CGL Herb. No. 42835) and consider it to be a basidiocarp of Phellinus gilvus (Schw.) Pat. Lloyd later (1924) reported an additional North American col- lection from Florida (CGL Herb. No. 23919). We also believe this specimen should be referred to P. gilvus. Overholts (1953) recognized P. torulosus as occurring in North America on the basis of the speci- mens identified as such in the Lloyd Herbarium, but stated that the specimens were “a thick form of P. licnoides.” Polyporus licnoides Mont. is considered to be conspecific with (Lloyd, 1915a, b) or very similar to P. gilvus (Overholts, 1953; Lowe and Gilbertson, 1961). We agree with Lloyd in believing the two are conspecific and consider P. licnoides to be a synonym of P. gilvus. Overholts (1953) also cites additional specimens of P. torulosus on Sassafras from St. Louis, Mo. We have examined these (CGL 35796 and 36027) and consider them to be P. gilvus also, As far as we can determine, therefore, these previous reports of P. torulosus in North America are all incorrect. Lowe (1957) believed this to be the case and considered the specimens cited by Lloyd and Overholts from North America to be perennial speci- mens of P. licnoides. He consequently treated P. torulosus as an ex- cluded species in his monograph on the genus Fomes in North America. However, Lowe’s statement that P. licnoides is an annual form of P. torulosus is not in agreement with our conclusions. Field work in coniferous forests of southern Arizona over the past three years has disclosed the presence of Phellinus torulosus in that area. The following description of P. torulosus was prepared from data based on the 18 Arizona specimens cited. Capitalized color names are based on Ridgway (1912). The specimens from Arizona have been divided and are deposited in herbaria of the following institutions: The University of Arizona, Tucson (ARIZ); The Center for Forest Mycol- GILBERTSON AND BURDSALL : PHELLINUS TORULOSUS 1260 ogy Research, Forest Products Laboratory, U.

In addition, six specimens labeled Polyporus torulosus or Boletus torulosus from the Persoon Herbarium at Leiden were examined. None has the place of collection except No. 207, which is from “Gallia.” Four, Nos. 46, 62, 124, and 207, are small specimens and two, Nos. 404 (FIG. 2) and 409 are large. Number 409 also has “Polyporus torulosus, Mycol. Europ.” on a label attached to the specimen. Persoon originally 1 described the fungus as broad and thick (“Spithamin fere latus, 1 /2 unc fere crassus”). Specimen No. 409 is large (12 cm thick and 15 cm wide). As it also has the label which states “Mycol. Europ.” it seems 1263 MYCOLOGIA, VOL. 64, 1972 reasonable to assume that this specimen is the basis for the original description. An annotation label indicates that C. G. Lloyd arrived at the same conclusion. The European specimens, including those from the Persoon herb- arium, agree well in all respects, both macroscopic and microscopic, with those found in Arizona. We therefore conclude that the Arizona speci- mens are correctly referred to Phellinus torulosus. Basidiocarps of Phellinus torulosus macroscopically may resemble those of Phellinus nigrolimitatus (Rom.) Bourd. et Galz., a common fungus at higher elevations on conifer logs in the central and northern Rocky Mts., but apparently very rare in southern Arizona. Both P. torulosus and P. nigrolimitatus often have a spongy upper layer of context and thin black layers in the context that appear as fine black lines on cut or broken surfaces. Phellinus nigrolimitatus differs micro- scopically in having elongated, carrot-shaped spores and more abundant and slightly larger setae. Other species of Phellinus that have micro- scopic characters similar to those of P. torzdosus are Phellinus taxodii (Murr.) comb. nov. (basionym- Pyropolyporus taxodii Murr., Bull. Torrey Bot.

Thirteen species from nine genera are reported, of which eleven are recorded for the first time. Descriptions and macro- and microscopic illustrations are presented for each species. Discussions on their taxonomy and ecology are provided. Key words – fungal diversity – Hymenochaetales – neotropical polypores – taxonomy Introduction Hymenochaetaceae was proposed by Donk (1948) and is characterized by the permanent xantochroic reaction (a dark coloration in alkali), the lack of clamp connections and the presence of setae in some species (Donk 1948, Hibbett et al. 2014, Ryvarden 2004). Most of the species of this family were traditionally placed among two main genera: Phellinus s.l.

Nogueira-Melo1*, Paulo J. P. Santos 2 and Tatiana B. Gibertoni1 Received: April 7, 2017 Accepted: May 9, 2017 . ABSTRACT Th is study aimed to investigate for the fi rst time the ecological interactions between species of Agaricomycetes and their host plants in Brazilian mangroves. Th irty-two fi eld trips were undertaken to four mangroves in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, from April 2009 to March 2010. One 250 x 40 m stand was delimited in each mangrove and six categories of substrates were artifi cially established: living Avicennia schaueriana (LA), dead A. schaueriana (DA), living Rhizophora mangle (LR), dead R. mangle (DR), living Laguncularia racemosa (LL) and dead L. racemosa (DL). Th irty-three species of Agaricomycetes were collected, 13 of which had more than fi ve reports and so were used in statistical analyses. Twelve species showed signifi cant values for fungal-plant interaction: one of them was host- exclusive in DR, while fi ve were host-recurrent on A. schauerianna; six occurred more in dead substrates, regardless the host species. Overall, the results were as expected for environments with low plant species richness, and where specifi city, exclusivity and/or recurrence are more easily seen. However, to properly evaluate these relationships, mangrove ecosystems cannot be considered homogeneous since they can possess diff erent plant communities, and thus diff erent types of fungal-plant interactions. Keywords: Fungi, estuaries, host-fungi interaction, host-relationships, plant-fungi interaction Hyde (2001) proposed a redefi nition of these terms.

(a macrofungal genus causing serious wood rot) was considered as one of the largest genera of the family Hymenochaetaceae. This genus was described to encompass poroid Hymenochaetaceae (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) with perennial basidiomata and a dimitic hyphal system (Larsen & Cobb-Poulle 1990, Wagner & Fischer 2002) but these characteristic features gradually appeared to be artificial because many intermediate forms have also been reported by many workers (Fiasson & Niemelä 1984, Corner 1991, Dai 1995, 1999, 2010, Fischer 1995, Wagner & Fischer 2001).

Brantley Penn State Mont Alto 1 Campus Drive Mont Alto, PA 17237-9700 September 2007 U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service Natural Resource Program Center Fort Collins, Colorado The Natural Resource Publication series addresses natural resource topics that are of interest and applicability to a broad readership in the National Park Service and to others in the management of natural resources, including the scientific community, the public, and the NPS conservation and environmental constituencies. Manuscripts are peer-reviewed to ensure that the information is scientifically credible, technically accurate, appropriately written for the intended audience, and is designed and published in a professional manner. The Natural Resources Technical Reports series is used to disseminate the peer-reviewed results of scientific studies in the physical, biological, and social sciences for both the advancement of science and the achievement of the National Park Service’s mission. The reports provide contributors with a forum for displaying comprehensive data that are often deleted from journals because of page limitations. Current examples of such reports include the results of research that addresses natural resource management issues; natural resource inventory and monitoring activities; resource assessment reports; scientific literature reviews; and peer reviewed proceedings of technical workshops, conferences, or symposia.

Box 1045, Blindern, N-0316 OSLO, Norway *Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract — Fifteen new records of polypore species are reported from the southern Florida, USA, with short comments to their key features, ecology, and distribution. The combination Fomitiporia apiahyna is proposed. Key words — Basidiomycota, Hymenochaetaceae, Polyporaceae, taxonomy, invasive species Introduction The southernmost part of Florida south of Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41, which bisects Miami) lies in the tropical hardwood forest region of the state (Young & Giese 2003). This relatively small area contributes substantially to poroid xylophilous fungi diversity in the USA, and about 15% of USA polypore species published in a compendium by Gilbertson & Ryvarden (1986, 1987) probably are found only here. Although Ryvarden (2004) and Decock et al. (2007) published new data on southern Florida Ganodermataceae and Hymenochaetaceae, to our knowledge no new records have been added for the Polyporaceae since 1987. Most of the territory belongs to Everglades National Park and is covered with regularly flooded wetland or with extensive mangrove stands along the coast.
