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.

Apartado Postal 1735, Hermosillo, Sonora 83000, México * Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract — Fuscoporia xerophila is described as a new species from México. The collected specimens were found on dead or living wood in xerophilous scrub in the central plain of the Sonoran desert, Sonora State, México. This species is characterized by its resupinate basidiomata with medium size pores (4–5 per mm), its hymenial setae and hyphal setae, and basidiospores that are are subglobose, hyaline, smooth, and thin-walled. A key to Mexican species of Fuscoporia is presented. Key words — Agaricomycetes, Hymenochaetales, polyporoid fungi, taxonomy Introduction Fuscoporia was described by Murrill (1907) with F. ferruginosa as the type species. Many mycologists (Overholts 1953, Lowe 1966, Ryvarden & Johansen 1980, Gilbertson & Ryvarden 1987, Larsen & Cobb-Poulle 1990, Ryvarden 1991) have regarded this genus as synonymous with Poria Adans. and Phellinus Quél. At the present time, Fiasson & Niemelä (1984), Wagner & Fischer (2001, 2002), Groposo et al. (2007), Baltazar et al. (2009), Baltazar & Gibertoni (2010), and Raymundo et al. (2013) recognize Fuscoporia as a monophyletic genus characterized by its annual to perennial and resupinate to pileate basidiomata with poroid hymenophore, its dimitic hyphal system with encrusted generative hyphae in the dissepiments and trama, hymenial setae that are always present and hyphal setae that are either present or absent, and basidiospores that are hyaline, non-amyloid, acyanophilous, subglobose, ellipsoid, cylindrical to allantoid, thin-walled, and smooth.

  • Checklist of the Aphyllophoraceous Fungi (Agaricomycetes) of the Brazilian Amazonia
    Posted date: June 2009 Summary published in MYCOTAXON 108: 319–322 Checklist of the aphyllophoraceous fungi (Agaricomycetes) of the Brazilian Amazonia ALLYNE CHRISTINA GOMES-SILVA1 & TATIANA BAPTISTA GIBERTONI1 [email protected] [email protected] Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Departamento de Micologia Av. Nelson Chaves s/n, CEP 50760-420, Recife, PE, Brazil Abstract — A literature-based checklist of the aphyllophoraceous fungi reported from the Brazilian Amazonia was compiled. Two hundred and sixteen species, 90 genera, 22 families, and 9 orders (Agaricales, Auriculariales, Cantharellales, Corticiales, Gloeophyllales, Hymenochaetales, Polyporales, Russulales and Trechisporales) have been reported from the area. Key words — macrofungi, neotropics Introduction The aphyllophoraceous fungi are currently spread througout many orders of Agaricomycetes (Hibbett et al. 2007) and comprise species that function as major decomposers of plant organic matter (Alexopoulos et al. 1996). The Amazonian Forest (00°44'–06°24'S / 58°05'–68°01'W) covers an area of 7 × 106 km2 in nine South American countries. Around 63% of the forest is located in nine Brazilian States (Acre, Amazonas, Amapá, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima, Tocantins, west of Maranhão, and north of Mato Grosso) (Fig. 1). The Amazonian forest consists of a mosaic of different habitats, such as open ombrophilous, stational semi-decidual, mountain, “terra firme,” “várzea” and “igapó” forests, and “campinaranas” (Amazonian savannahs). Six months of dry season and six month of rainy season can be observed (Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi 2007). Even with the high biodiversity of Amazonia and the well-documented importance of aphyllophoraceous fungi to all arboreous ecosystems, few studies have been undertaken in the Brazilian Amazonia on this group of fungi (Bononi 1981, 1992, Capelari & Maziero 1988, Gomes-Silva et al.

Phylogenetic analyses based on the nLSU and a combined ITS, nLSU and RPB2 datasets of 18 species of Fuscoporia revealed two new lineages that are equated to two new species; Fuscoporia ramulicola sp. nov. grouped together with F. ferrea, F. punctatiformis, F. subferrea and F. yunnanensis with a strong support; Fuscoporia acutimarginata sp. nov. formed a strongly supported lineage distinct from other species. The individual morphological characters of the new species and their related species are discussed. A key to Chinese species of Fuscoporia is provided.

    Mycosphere 8(6):1238–1245 (2017) www.mycosphere.org ISSN 2077 7019 Article Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/8/6/9 Copyright © Guizhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences A new species of Fuscoporia (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) from southern China Chen Q1 and Yuan Y 1Institute of Microbiology, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, China Chen Q, Yuan Y 2017 – A new species of Fuscoporia (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) from southern China. Mycosphere 8(6), 1238–1245, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/8/6/9 Abstract A new polypore species, Fuscoporia subferrea, is described from southern China based on morphological characters and phylogenetic analysis. The new species is characterized by annual, resupinate basidiocarp, hyaline, thin-walled, smooth, cylindrical basidiospores measured as 4.2–5.8 × 2.2–2.6 µm. It resembles F. ferrea, but differs by smaller pores (7–10/mm vs. 5–7/mm) and narrower basidiospores (4.2–6.2 × 2.0–2.6 µm vs. 4.2–5.2 × 2.8–3.5 μm). Phylogenetic analyses inferred from the ITS and nLSU sequences indicate that the new species forms a distinct lineage with strong support and is closely related to F. ferrea. Key words – Hymenochaetaceae – phylogeny – taxonomy – wood-rotting fungi Introduction Fuscoporia Murrill was proposed by Murrill (1907) and typified by F. ferruginosa (Schrad.) Murrill. Most mycologists (Overholts 1953, Lowe 1966, Ryvarden & Johansen 1980, Larsen & Cobb-Poulle 1990, Ryvarden & Gilbertson 1994) treated this genus as a synonym of Phellinus Quél. Nevertheless, Fiasson & Niemelä (1984) recognized Fuscoporia as a monophyletic genus characterized by annual to perennial and resupinate to pileate basidiomata, a dimitic hyphal system with the encrustations on generative hyphae, the presence of hymenial setae, hyaline, thin-walled and smooth basidiospores, and the genus was confirmed by Wagner & Fischer (2001, 2002) through their nuclear large subunit (nLSU) ribosomal RNA-based phylogeny.

Miguel Stéfano 3687, 04301-902, São Paulo, SP, Brazil * Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract — Fuscoporia atlantica (Basidiomycota, Hymenochaetaceae) is described and illustrated based on specimens collected in Atlantic Rainforest areas of São Paulo state, Brazil, and its inferred phylogenetic relationships are based on sequence data from the ribosomal ITS and LSU regions. The new species is characterized by an effused-reflexed to pileate basidioma, golden-yellow-ferruginous pore surface, tiny pores, dimitic hyphal system with thin-walled hyphae encrusted at dissepiment edges, mostly uncinate or hooked hymenial setae, and broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid basidiospores. An identification key to the Fuscoporia species recorded from Brazil is also provided. Key words — basidiomycete, Hymenochaetales, neotropics, phylogeny, taxonomy Introduction Species of the genus Fuscoporia Murrill traditionally have been included in Phellinus s.l., a morphologically heterogeneous and phylogenetically polyphyletic group (Fiasson & Niemelä 1984; Dai 1999; Wagner & Fischer 2001, 2002b; Larsson et al. 2006). However, molecular phylogenetic analyses have shown that Fuscoporia

The structures of fungal compounds were determined on the basis of NMR and MS spectroscopic analysis, as well as molecular modelling studies.

(2007): DNA sequence analysis of extraordinary fruiting specimens of Fuscoporia torulosa (Phellinus torulosus)onPyrus spp. – Czech Mycol. 59(1): 91–99. Fuscoporia torulosa (Phellinus torulosus) is a typical polypore of thermophilous forests in Cen- tral Europe. In most cases the fungus forms basidiocarps on base or roots of various host trees (mainly Quercus), but sometimes the basidiocarps appear on stem heights of approx. 2 m. This extraordinary fructification pattern seems to be restricted to Pyrus as a host. The aim of this study was to compare such basidiocarps with those growing on the base of oak trees according to their DNA sequences to re- veal a possible process of speciation. The so-called ITS region of nuclear ribosomal DNA was chosen for the study. Results did not reveal any significant differences between basidiocarps with the distinct fructification pattern, so all examined specimens belong to one species. The relation of Fuscoporia torulosa to Phellinus senex is discussed. Key words: Fuscoporia, Phellinus, DNA, ITS region, fructification Tomšovský M. a Jankovský L.
