Taxonomy and phylogeny of the genus Megasporoporia<\/em> and its related genera<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hai-Jiao Li & Baokai Cui in Mycologia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract \u2014 Taxonomic and phylogenetic studies on Megasporoporia<\/em> s.l. were carried out. Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS and nLSU sequences showed that Megasporoporia<\/em> s.l. belonging to the core polyporoid clade, however, it is not monophyletic, and four clades were recognized. The Megasporoporia<\/em> s.s. clade includes M. setulosa<\/em> and two new species, M. bannaensis<\/em> and M. minor<\/em> spp. nov. Two monophyletic clades were segregated from Megasporoporia<\/em> s.l., and two new genera were established. Megasporia<\/em> gen. nov. is composed of M. cystidiolophora<\/em>, M. ellipsoidea<\/em>, M. hexagonoides<\/em>, M. major<\/em>, M. violacea<\/em>, and two new species, M. guangdongensis<\/em> and M. hengduanensis<\/em> spp. nov. Megasporoporiella<\/em> gen. nov. including M. cavernulosa<\/em>, M. rhododendri<\/em>, M. subcavernulosa<\/em>, and two new species, M. lacerata<\/em> and M. pseudocavernulosa<\/em> spp. nov. Megasporoporia quercina<\/em> grouped with Grammothele fuligo<\/em> in the Grammothele clade<\/em>, so it is transferred to Grammothele<\/em> and a new combination, G. quercina<\/em> is proposed. The main morphological characters of Megasporoporia<\/em> and the two new genera are discussed, and identification keys to the three genera are provided<\/p>\n

Abstract \u2014 <\/em>Type specimens of fifteen, resupinate, crustose basidiomycetes with aculei described by various authors were examined. Nine taxa are later synonyms: Hydnum albiceps<\/em> Berk. & Rav. (= Phlebia fascicularis<\/em>), Hydnum chrysodon<\/em> Berk. & M.A. Curtis (= Hydnophlebia chrysorhiza<\/em>), Hydnum hypochrum<\/em> Berk. & Broome (= Dentipellis leptodon<\/em>), Hydnum micheneri<\/em> Berk.

A new species of Laetiporus<\/em> (Basidiomycota, Polyporales) from the Caribbean basin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mark T. Banik, Daniel L. Lindner, Beatriz Ortiz-Santana & Deborah J. Lodge in Kurtziana<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract \u2014 Laetiporus caribensis<\/em> is described as a new species, causing brown rot on hardwoods in the Caribbean basin. Laetiporus caribensis<\/em> is distinguished from described species in the genus by smaller basidiospores. In addition, single spore isolates of L. caribensis<\/em> are incompatible with those of the known species of Laetiporus<\/em> from North America and Japan. The ITS sequence of L .caribensi<\/em>s is divergent from other members of the genus, being at least 50 base pairs different from L. gilbertsonii<\/em>, the most closely related species.<\/p>\n

The phylogenetic disposition of Postia<\/em> s.l. (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) from Patagonia, Argentina<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mar\u00eda Bel\u00e9n Pildain and Mario Rajchenberg in Mycologia<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n

Abstract \u2014 We investigated the phylogenetic relationships of Postia<\/em> species from Patagonia with rDNA ITS and LSU sequences, together with morphological, cultural and biological features. All species in the genus were included in a ‘Postia clade’ irrespective of whether their spores were thin or thick-walled. This clade is characterized by tetrapolar mating, a normal nuclear behavior, metachromatic generative hyphae and absence of fiber hyphae in culture. One subclade merged the austral taxa P. pelliculosa<\/em> and P. punctata<\/em>, but otherwise no distinct relationships were found regarding spore shape, spore wall thickness and geographical distribution of taxa. The austral P. venata<\/em> and the endemic P. carbophila<\/em>, with thin-walled basidiospores, occupied variable positions in both analyses. Postia caesia<\/em> from Patagonia grouped within the P. caesia<\/em> species complex but on a separate branch. In contrast, P. rennyi<\/em> and P. balsamea<\/em> from Patagonia corresponded well with strains from other geographic areas. The two austral species in Ryvardenia, R. cretacea<\/em> and R. campyla<\/em>, characterized by non-metachromatic hyphae, bipolarity and an astatocoenocytic nuclear behavior, formed an independent subclade among the dimitic genera of the ‘Antrodia clade’, far from other Postia<\/em> taxa within which they had been placed previously, supporting their inclusion in a genus of their own. Postia carbophila<\/em> merged with other Postia<\/em> species and not with Postia<\/em> (Rhodonia<\/em>) placenta<\/em> as suggested previously on the basis of morphological comparisons. Instead, the latter species grouped with taxa in the dimitic genus Amyloporia<\/em> with which it shares a heterocytic nuclear behavior. A separation between specimens of Postia pelliculosa<\/em> and Ryvardenia cretacea<\/em> from either side of the Pacific, i.e. SE Australia\/New Zealand and S Argentina\/S Chile, suggests they could be considered different at the species level from a phylogenetic point of view<\/p>\n

New species and distinctive geographical divergences of the genus Sparassis<\/em> (Basidiomycota): evidence from morphological and molecular data<\/strong><\/p>\n

Qi Zhao, Bang Feng,\u00a0 Zhu L. Yang, Yu-Cheng Dai, Zheng Wang & B. Tolgor in Mycological Progress<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract \u2014 Species of the genus Sparassis<\/em> in East Asia were investigated using morphology and DNA sequences data. Phylogenetic analyses inferred from sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), the nuclear gene coding for the ribosomal large subunit (nLSU) and partial gene coding RNA polymerase subunit II (rpb2) strongly supported lineages corresponding to morphological features. Three taxa, S.subalpina, S. cystidiosa<\/em> f. flabelliformis<\/em> and S. latifolia<\/em> were recognized from East Asia, and the former two taxa are new to science. The occurrence of S. latifolia<\/em> in Japan and in the Russian Far East was confirmed. Geographical divergences of Sparassis<\/em> in the Holarctic were observed. Most species have relatively narrow distribution ranges, and taxa with intercontinental distributions were not detected. Divergence of species in the Northern Hemisphere in different clades appears to have taken place at different times: the S.latifolia-crispa-radicata<\/em> species complex appears to haveundergone a recent radiation, while the S. subalpinabrevipes-spathularia species complex represents a relatively ancient speciation<\/p>\n

The Paleozoic Origin of Enzymatic Lignin Decomposition Reconstructed from 31 Fungal Genomes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dimitris Floudas et al in\u00a0Science<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract \u2014\u00a0Wood is a major pool of organic carbon that is highly resistant to decay, owing largely to the presence of lignin. The only organisms capable of substantial lignin decay are white rot fungi in the Agaricomycetes, which also contains non\u2013lignin-degrading brown rot and ectomycorrhizal species. Comparative analyses of 31 fungal genomes (12 generated for this study) suggest that lignin-degrading peroxidases expanded in the lineage leading to the ancestor of the Agaricomycetes, which is reconstructed as a white rot species, and then contracted in parallel lineages leading to brown rot and mycorrhizal species. Molecular clock analyses suggest that the origin of lignin degradation might have coincided with the sharp decrease in the rate of organic carbon burial around the end of the Carboniferous period.<\/p>\n

Masoomeh Ghobad-Nejhad & Nills Hallenberg in Mycotaxon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract \u2014 This list includes 395 species of Iranian non-gilled\/non-gasteroid hymenomycetes. Corticioid, poroid (polypores), hydnoid, clavarioid, cantharelloid, thelephoroid, and cyphelloid fungi are covered, together with heterobasidiomycetes. Almost all the species are supported by at least one herbarium specimen. The list has been compiled mainly from material collected by the authors, verified reports and literature. Nineteen species are reported for the first time from the country, and 118 species are added to the most recent account of aphyllophoroid fungi of North Iran by Hallenberg (1981, Mycotaxon 12: 473\u2013502). The occurrence in Iran of six species is regarded as doubtful, while 12 species are excluded. The number of species known for each province in Iran is listed, with Golestan shown to be the most species-rich province. The total number of species recognized for major Iranian phytogeographical territories is also noted and Funalia trogii<\/em>, Inonotus hispidus<\/em>, and Schizophyllum commune<\/em> are shown to be the most widespread species. A permanent repository for continuous updates has been made available via the Myco-Lich website, and future new records for the country will be published online.

Abstract \u2014\u00a0Antrodia tropica<\/em> sp. nov. is described and illustrated on the basis of collections originating from Hainan, southern tropical China. Both the morphology and phylogenetic analysis of rDNA ITS sequences support this new species. Morphologically, it is characterized by resupinate basidiocarps, an annual growth habit, greyish to pinkish buff pore surface, a dimitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, and cylindrical to subfusiform basidiospores. The hymenophoral trama is dominated by generative hyphae, whereas skeletal hyphae are dominant in the subiculum. Molecular phylogeny inferred from ITS sequence data suggested a close relationship between A. tropica<\/em> and two other Antrodia<\/em> species, including A. huangshanensis<\/em> reported from China and A. ramentacea<\/em> found mostly in boreal Eurasia<\/p>\n

Abstract \u2014 Three new resupinate, poroid, wood-inhabiting fungi, Perenniporia aridula<\/em>, P. bannaensis<\/em> and P. substraminea<\/em>, are introduced on the basis of morphological and molecular characters. Molecular study based on sequence data from the ribosomal ITS and LSU regions supported the three new species\u2019 positions in Perenniporia<\/em> s.s., and all of them formed monophyletic lineages with strong support (100 % BP, 1.00 BPP). Phylogenetic analysis revealed seven clades for the 31 species of Perenniporia<\/em> s.l. used in this study. Among them, Perenniporiella<\/em> clustered with Perenniporia<\/em> ochroleuca group, and then subsequently grouped with Abundisporus<\/em>. In addition, the P. ochroleuca<\/em> group, the P. vicina<\/em> group, the P. martia<\/em> group and P. subacida<\/em> formed well supported monophyletic entities, which could be recognized as distinct genera, and they are not related to P. medulla-panis<\/em> which belongs to Perenniporia<\/em> s.s. clade. An identification key to 38 species of Perenniporia<\/em> occurring in China is provided<\/p>\n

Abstract \u2014\u00a0\u00a0The Atlantic Forest is the better known Brazilian biome regarding polypore diversity. Nonetheless, species are still being added to its mycota and it is possible that the knowledge of its whole diversity is far from being achieved. On the other hand Caatinga is one of the lesser known. However, studies in this biome have been undertaken and the knowledge about it increasing. Based in recent surveys in Atlantic Forest and Caatinga remnants in the Brazilian States of Bahia, Pernambuco and Sergipe, and revision of herbaria, twenty polypore species previously unknown for these states were found. Fuscoporia chrysea <\/em>and Inonotus pseudoglomeratus <\/em>are new records to Brazil and nine are new to the Northeast Region. Furthermore, four species previously known from Brazil were found for the first time in the Atlantic Forest, viz. Flabellophora parva<\/em>, F. chrysea<\/em>, I. pseudoglomeratus <\/em>and Trametes lactinea<\/em>, and three in the Caatinga, viz. I. portoricensis<\/em>, Phylloporia spathulata <\/em>and Schizopora flavipora<\/em>. Keys to the main taxa are provided.<\/p>\n

Stipitate stereoid basidiocarps have evolved multiple times<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Abstract \u2014 Stipitate stereoid fungi are Basidiomycetes with a stipe, a spathulate- to funnel-shaped pileus, a smooth hymenophore, and hyaline, smooth spores. Representatives of the genera Cotylidia, Cymatoderma, Muscinupta, Podoscypha<\/em> and Stereopsis<\/em> were subjected to molecular phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear ribosomal large subunit, 5.8S and ITS sequences. For four of the genera the type species was included in analyses. Stereopsis radicans<\/em>, the type species of Stereopsis<\/em>, forms a lineage with the corticioid species Clavulicium globosum<\/em> but could not be placed in any of the presently accepted orders within Agaricomycotina. Stereopsis vitellina<\/em> falls within the Atheliales, making it the first pileus- and stipe-forming fungus recovered in this order. Cotylidia<\/em> and Muscinupta again are shown to be members of the Hymenochaetales, whereas Cymatoderma<\/em> and Podoscypha<\/em> belong in the Polyporales. Cymatoderma<\/em> is polyphyletic and Cymatoderma<\/em> sensu stricto is separated from other stipitate stereoid fungi in the Polyporales, whereas the remaining Cymatoderma<\/em> species are nested within a well supported clade holding all Podoscypha<\/em> species but also Abortiporus biennis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Abstract \u2014 Thirty-five corticioid collections from the Canary Islands and Azores Archipelago were examined morphologically and subjected to molecular phylogenetic analysis. These specimens, almost all collected on endemic and\/or xerophilic vegetation, were similar in morphological and ecological characteristics to Hypochnicium prosopidis<\/em> from the Sonoran Desert (Arizona, USA) and Hyphoderma amoenum<\/em>. Thirty-seven new ITS nrDNA sequences from these specimens, including the nomenclatural type of the above-mentioned species, were obtained and aligned with homologous sequences from GenBank. These collections were distributed in two strongly supported monophyletic clades. However, similar patterns of morphological variability shared by specimens included in both clades and their differences with related species suggest that they should be described as a single new species. Therefore Hyphoderma macaronesicum<\/em> is proposed. Studies will be required to test, in a more robust multilocus genealogical framework, whether these populations constitute two cryptic species or whether they are the same taxon. The position of Hypochnicium prosopidis<\/em> in the resolved tree and its morphological characters suggest that it should be included in Hyphoderma<\/em> and the new combination Hyphoderma prosopidis<\/em> is proposed.<\/p>\n

Abstract \u2014 Four new species of polypores are described from California, Oregon, and Washington, U.S.A. Antrodia madronae<\/em>, seemingly confined to dead stems and branches of Arbutus menziesii, is closely related to European Antrodia sandalia<\/em>e growing on Arbutus unedo. The generic position is evaluated for Ceriporiopsis pseudoplacenta<\/em>, a strikingly colored species with many unique features that seems surprisingly common in the northwestern states. Fuscoporia palomari<\/em> is distinguished from the similar F. viticola<\/em> by much larger pores and spores. Skeletocutis subodora<\/em> differs from S. odora<\/em> by having thick subiculum, differently shaped basidiospores, abundant cystidioles, and no skeletal hyphae in the context.

Abstract \u2014 Pseudolagarobasidium<\/em> (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) is a small, monophyletic genus of crustose, wood-inhabiting fungi with spines and a saprobic, endophytic, or parasitic habit. Seven species are accepted in the genus including two new species, P. belizense<\/em> from Belize and P. pusillum<\/em> from Australia. Sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer of the ribosomal RNA gene places P. belizense<\/em> in a monophyletic clade with P. acaciicola<\/em> and an undescribed foliar endophyte. New combinations proposed include P. modestum<\/em> for Irpex modestus<\/em> Berk., P. pronum for Hydnum pronum<\/em> Berk.& Broome which is an earlier name for P. calcareum<\/em>, and P. venustum<\/em> for Radulodon venustus<\/em> Hjortstam & Ryvarden. Irpex colliculosum<\/em> Berk. & Broome from Sri Lanka is conspecific with P. subvinosum<\/em>. Two species, Sistotrema ochroleucum<\/em> and Radulum concentricum<\/em> are not accepted in Pseudolagarobasidium<\/em>. Pseudolagarobasidium<\/em> is compared with Radulodon<\/em> and similar genera. A key to the species of Pseudolagarobasidium<\/em> is provided.<\/p>\n

Abstract \u2014 A discussion on the importance of morphological features in the taxonomy of Ganoderma<\/em> subg. Ganoderma<\/em> is presented. More than 500 specimens of 37 species, including 33 types, were checked: G. argillaceum, G. atkinsonii, G. boninense, G. capense, G. chonoides, G. colossus, G. concinnum, G. corrugatum, G. curtisii, G. dorsale, G. elegantum, G. longistipitatum, G. mexicanum, G. multicornum, G. multiplicatum, G. nevadense, G. nitidum, G. oerstedii,G. orbiforme, G. oregonense, G. parvulum, G. perturbatum, G. perzonatum, G. praelongum,G. pulverulentum, G. ravenelii, G. resinaceum, G. sequoiae, G. sessile, G. sessiliforme,G. simulans, G. stipitatum, G. subfornicatum, G. subincrustatum, G. vivianimercedianum,G. weberianum,<\/em> and G. zonatum<\/em>. Color of the context, resinous deposits, structure of the basidiospores, and protuberances of the pileipellis cells are among the most important features for characterization of the species.<\/p>\n
