It is made available under aCC-BY-NC 4.0 International license. 26 Multigene phylogenetic analyses based on ITS, LSU, EF1a, RPB1 and RPB2 loci place 27 this species in Irpicaceae, and forming a distinct clade with Ceraceomyces serpens 28 and Ceriporia sulphuricolor, which we also incorporate into a new genus 29 Flavoceraceomyces (NOM. PROV.). The honey-yellow basidiomes with white margins 30 and presence of crystal-encrusted hyphae in the hymenium and subiculum are 31 distinctive features of Flavoceraceomyces (NOM. PROV.), despite variability in 32 hymenium morphology and presence of clamp connections and cystidia, as noted for 33 other genera within Irpicacae. F. damiettense is hitherto consistently associated with 34 date palms killed by the red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, a highly 35 damaging and invasive pest, recently spread to the Mediterranean region. F. 36 damiettense causes rapid wood decay by a potentially unusual white-rot mechanism 37 and may play a role in the damage caused by R. ferrugineus. 2 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.16.206029; this version posted July 17, 2020.

It is by now clear that 43 resupinate or corticioid fungi can be difficult to classify even to family level based on 44 morphological characteristics. However, multigene phylogenies now provide a robust 45 backbone at family level but there is an urgent to reclassify many taxa which have been 46 attributed to incorrect genera based on morphological data. 47 48 This problem is well-illustrated by the family Irpicaceae Spirin & Zmitr. 2003 (Spirin 49 2003), a well-supported clade which currently comprises 12 genera (Byssomerulius, 50 Ceriporia, Cytidiella, Efibula, Emmia, Flavodon, Gloeoporus, Hydnopolyporus, Irpex, 51 Leptoporus, Meruliopsis, Trametopsis) (Justo et al. 2017). Within multigene phylogenies 52 of Irpicaceae , it is also apparent that several clearly delineated clades within this family 53 remain to be named (Justo et al. 2017). 54 55 The family Irpicaceae also illustrates the fundamental problems associated with the 56 classification of Polyporales based on morphological traits. In terms of 57 macromorphology, three forms of basidiomes (pileate [Trametopsis], resupinate 58 [Gloeoporus] and stipitate [Hydnopolyporus fimbriatus]) and four states for 59 hymenophore configuration (poroid, daedaleoid/lamellate, smooth, hydnoid) are found 60 (Justo et al. 2017; Sjökvist et al. 2012). A similar variation is evident in the diversity of 61 hyphal systems (mostly monomitic but some dimitic [Flavodon/Irpex/Trametopsis]), 62 which affects the consistency and longevity of fruiting bodies.

It is made available under aCC-BY-NC 4.0 International license. 63 Polyporales, is one of the most stable characters that has been used as the basis for 64 segregating genera (Gilbertson and Ryvarden 1986; Ryvarden 1991) but within 65 Irpicaceae, whilst most are white rotting, a single genus [Leptoporus] exhibits brown 66 rot decay (Justo et al. 2017). With regard to other microscopic traits, most members of 67 the family are rather nondescript, with consistently smooth hyaline spores but variation 68 bother within and between genera with regard to the presence of cystidia and clamped 69 septa (e.g. cystidia in Irpex, Emmia and others; clamp-connections in Gloeoporus and 70 others). 71 72 These various morphological transitions have occurred repeatedly within this lineage 73 (Floudas and Hibbett 2015; Miettinen et al. 2016), making the construction of any 74 dichotomous key based on morphological characteristics very unwieldy. Recognizing 75 smaller, well-supported clades as independent families would not result in a more 76 straightforward morphological grouping of these taxa. 77 78 In this paper we describe a new resupinate fungus found on decaying trunks of Phoenix 79 dactylifera trees killed by red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus). Based on the 80 genetic and morphological similarities of this new species to two other ‘orphan’ 81 resupinate species (Ceriporia sulphuricolor, Ceraceomyces serpens), we include all 82 three taxa in a new genus which we name Flavoceraceomyces (NOM. PROV.). 83 84 Methods 85 1.

Pure cultures were obtained on 90 Potato dextrose agar (PDA) and 3% Malt extract agar (MEA), routinely incubated at 91 28°C. Cultures were stored at 4°C, on agar slopes and frozen at -80°C in 10% glycerol. 92 Radial growth rate was quantified on MEA in 90 mm petri dishes, with mycelial plugs 93 of actively growing cultures placed at the edge of the dish, according to the method of 94 (Adaskaveg and Gilbertson 1986). Optimal growth temperature was investigated 95 across a range of temperatures (20-41°C). Culture compatibility tests were carried out 96 for different isolates on MEA at 30°C for 3 weeks (Worrall 1997). Vouchers from the 97 samples were deposited at Aberystwyth University Herbarium (ABS). Herbarium 98 acronyms follow Index Herbariorum (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/ih/). 99 100 The basidiome surface was observed with a dissecting microscope (Prior model 101 29362) at 50x. Basidiome sections were investigated by light microscopy (Olympus 102 BX51M) mounted in 5% KOH, cotton blue or Melzer’s reagent at 1000x magnification. 103 Photomicrographs recorded with a Nikon Coolpix 995 digital camera. Measurements 104 were taken using an objective micrometer or calibrated ocular. 105 106 Colony characters as colour, shape and size of hyphae and type of septa were checked 107 after 1,2,4 weeks of incubation on MEA plates at 28°C (Stalpers 1978). Hyphae were 108 mixed with 20 µl of Calcofluor solution (200 µg/ml [w/v] in distilled water to stain the 109 chitin cell walls), then visualized by epifluorescence microscopy (Olympus BX51). The 110 spore shape index (Q; length/diameter) was calculated for 10 spores (Wu 1990). 111 5 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.16.206029; this version posted July 17, 2020.

  • Phylogenetic Classification of Trametes
    TAXON 60 (6) • December 2011: 1567–1583 Justo & Hibbett • Phylogenetic classification of Trametes SYSTEMATICS AND PHYLOGENY Phylogenetic classification of Trametes (Basidiomycota, Polyporales) based on a five-marker dataset Alfredo Justo & David S. Hibbett Clark University, Biology Department, 950 Main St., Worcester, Massachusetts 01610, U.S.A. Author for correspondence: Alfredo Justo, [email protected] Abstract: The phylogeny of Trametes and related genera was studied using molecular data from ribosomal markers (nLSU, ITS) and protein-coding genes (RPB1, RPB2, TEF1-alpha) and consequences for the taxonomy and nomenclature of this group were considered. Separate datasets with rDNA data only, single datasets for each of the protein-coding genes, and a combined five-marker dataset were analyzed. Molecular analyses recover a strongly supported trametoid clade that includes most of Trametes species (including the type T. suaveolens, the T. versicolor group, and mainly tropical species such as T. maxima and T. cubensis) together with species of Lenzites and Pycnoporus and Coriolopsis polyzona. Our data confirm the positions of Trametes cervina (= Trametopsis cervina) in the phlebioid clade and of Trametes trogii (= Coriolopsis trogii) outside the trametoid clade, closely related to Coriolopsis gallica. The genus Coriolopsis, as currently defined, is polyphyletic, with the type species as part of the trametoid clade and at least two additional lineages occurring in the core polyporoid clade. In view of these results the use of a single generic name (Trametes) for the trametoid clade is considered to be the best taxonomic and nomenclatural option as the morphological concept of Trametes would remain almost unchanged, few new nomenclatural combinations would be necessary, and the classification of additional species (i.e., not yet described and/or sampled for mo- lecular data) in Trametes based on morphological characters alone will still be possible.

Potential active compounds were separated from fermentation broth by activity tracking and identified in structure by spectrum. The results showed that this fungus had common characteristics as Basidiomycota in morphology. According to 18S rDNA and internal transcribed space (ITS) DNA sequencing, this fungus was identified as Bjerkandera adusta in family Meruliaceae. Two active compounds viz., veratric acid and erythro-1-(3, 5-dichlone-4- methoxyphenyl)-1, 2-propylene glycol were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum and mass spectrum. Veratric acid was separated for the first time from any fungus, while erythro-1-(3, 5-dichlone-4-methoxyphenyl)-1, 2-propylene glycol was once reported in Bjerkandera.

    Fungus and Lichen Genera in the NEMF Database Taxonomic hierarchy: phyllum > class (-etes) > order (-ales) > family (-ceae) > genus. Total number of genera in the database: 526 Anamorphic fungi (see p. 4), which are disseminated by propagules not formed from cells where meiosis has occurred, are presently not grouped by class, order, etc. Most propagules can be referred to as "conidia," but some are derived from unspecialized vegetative mycelium. A significant number are correlated with fungal states that produce spores derived from cells where meiosis has, or is assumed to have, occurred. These are, where known, members of the ascomycetes or basidiomycetes. However, in many cases, they are still undescribed, unrecognized or poorly known.

A new morphological arrangement of the Polypo- rales. I. Phanerochaetineae. Mycena. 2006. Vol. 6. P. 4–56. UDC 582.287.23:001.4. SUMMARY: A new taxonomic division of the suborder Phanerochaetineae of the order Polyporales is presented. The suborder covers five families, i.e. Faerberiaceae Pouzar, Fistuli- naceae Lotsy (including Jülich’s Bjerkanderaceae, Grifolaceae, Hapalopilaceae, and Meripi- laceae), Laetiporaceae Jülich (=Phaeolaceae Jülich), and Phanerochaetaceae Jülich. As a basis of the suggested subdivision, features of basidioma micromorphology are regarded, with special attention to hypha/epibasidium ratio. Some generic concepts are changed. New genera Raduliporus Spirin & Zmitr. (type Polyporus aneirinus Sommerf. : Fr.), Emmia Zmitr., Spirin & V. Malysheva (type Polyporus latemarginatus Dur. & Mont.), and Leptochaete Zmitr. & Spirin (type Thelephora sanguinea Fr. : Fr.) are described. The genus Byssomerulius Parmasto is proposed to be conserved versus Dictyonema C. Ag. The genera Abortiporus Murrill and Bjer- kandera P. Karst. are reduced to Grifola Gray. In total, 69 new combinations are proposed. The species Emmia metamorphosa (Fuckel) Spirin, Zmitr. & Malysheva (commonly known as Ceri- poria metamorphosa (Fuckel) Ryvarden & Gilb.) is reported as new to Russia. Key words: aphyllophoroid fungi, corticioid fungi, Dictyonema, Fistulinaceae, homo- basidiomycetes, Laetiporaceae, merulioid fungi, Phanerochaetaceae, phylogeny, systematics I. INTRODUCTORY NOTES There is no general agreement how to outline the limits of the forms which should be called phanerochaetoid fungi.

  • Polypore Fungi As a Flagship Group to Indicate Changes in Biodiversity – a Test Case from Estonia Kadri Runnel1* , Otto Miettinen2 and Asko Lõhmus1
    Runnel et al. IMA Fungus (2021) 12:2 https://doi.org/10.1186/s43008-020-00050-y IMA Fungus RESEARCH Open Access Polypore fungi as a flagship group to indicate changes in biodiversity – a test case from Estonia Kadri Runnel1* , Otto Miettinen2 and Asko Lõhmus1 Abstract Polyporous fungi, a morphologically delineated group of Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota), are considered well studied in Europe and used as model group in ecological studies and for conservation. Such broad interest, including widespread sampling and DNA based taxonomic revisions, is rapidly transforming our basic understanding of polypore diversity and natural history. We integrated over 40,000 historical and modern records of polypores in Estonia (hemiboreal Europe), revealing 227 species, and including Polyporus submelanopus and P. ulleungus as novelties for Europe. Taxonomic and conservation problems were distinguished for 13 unresolved subgroups. The estimated species pool exceeds 260 species in Estonia, including at least 20 likely undescribed species (here documented as distinct DNA lineages related to accepted species in, e.g., Ceriporia, Coltricia, Physisporinus, Sidera and Sistotrema). Four broad ecological patterns are described: (1) polypore assemblage organization in natural forests follows major soil and tree-composition gradients; (2) landscape-scale polypore diversity homogenizes due to draining of peatland forests and reduction of nemoral broad-leaved trees (wooded meadows and parks buffer the latter); (3) species having parasitic or brown-rot life-strategies are more substrate- specific; and (4) assemblage differences among woody substrates reveal habitat management priorities. Our update reveals extensive overlap of polypore biota throughout North Europe. We estimate that in Estonia, the biota experienced ca. 3–5% species turnover during the twentieth century, but exotic species remain rare and have not attained key functions in natural ecosystems.

  • The Genus Ceriporia Donk (Polyporaceae, Basidiomycota) in the Patagonian Andes Forests of Argentina
    Karstenia 40: 143-146, 2000 The genus Ceriporia Donk (Polyporaceae, Basidiomycota) in the Patagonian Andes forests of Argentina NUVUORAJCHENBERG RAJCHENBERG, M. 2000: The genus Ceriporia Donk (Polyporaceae, Basidiomy­ cota) in the Patagonian Andes forests of Argentina. - Karstenia 40: 143-146. Hel­ sinki. ISSN 0453-3402. The species of the polypore genus Ceriporia found in the Nothofagus dominated forests of southern Argentina are recorded. Ceriporia retamoana Rajchenb. is de­ scribed as new; it is characterised by light duckling yellow basidiomes, and cylindric and narrow basidiospores. Other species are C. purpurea, C. reticulata and C. viridans. Specimens of C. reticulata are cream when fresh, but display a variety of hymenial colours upon drying that vary from light pink to dark orange, and tum pink to vinaceous with 5% KOH solution.
