Morphological and Phylogenetic Evidence for Recognition of Two New Species of Phanerochaete from East Asia

Dong-Qiong Wang et al.

Summary: Two new corticioid fungal species, Phanerochaete pruinosa and P. rhizomorpha, are proposed based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. Phanerochaete pruinosa is characterized by specific features such as pruinose hymenial surface and subcylindrical basidiospores, while P. rhizomorpha is distinctive by its smooth hymenophore, presence of rhizomorphs, and narrower basidiospores. Phylogenetic analyses show their relationships within the genus Phanerochaete.

Phylogenetic analysis demonstrating four new species in Megasporoporia sensu lato (Polyporales, Basidiomycota)

Y. R. Wang et al.

Summary: Megasporoporia sensu lato is a common polypore genus in tropics, recognized by its resupinate, light-colored basidiocarps with big pores growing on fresh fallen trunks and branches. Molecular analyses revealed its polyphyletic nature, leading to its division into three genera. This study identified and described four new species and proposed a new combination within the genus.
