Mycosphere 3(3), 282–287, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/3/3/2 A checklist of 33 polypore species (Hymenochaetales and Polyporales) from the Camanti- Marcapata Biological Corridor (CMBC) of Cusco, Peru, is provided with data about distribution in the Andes-Amazon region. More than 90% of polypore species reported herein are new records to the country.
