<p><strong>Background: </strong>Derived from the study of the mycobiota associated with <em>Quercus oleoides </em>Schltdl. et Cham., tropical oaks have been explored in Tabasco, finding great diversity in numerous fungal groups, such as boletoids macromycetes.</p><p><strong>Question: </strong>What is the diversity of the mycobiota of Boletales poroides associated with tropical oaks of Tabasco?</p><p><strong>Species Study: </strong>Order Boletales</p><p><strong>Study sites and date: </strong>municipality of Balancán in the state of Tabasco, 2012 – 2016.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> Collections of boletoid fungi associated with <em>Q. oleoides</em> were carried out according to conventional mycology techniques for taxonomic identification, a dichotomous key of the species found was performed and their geographical distribution was analyzed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Up to now, nine species assigned to five genera and two families of boletoid macromycetes have been identified.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>All species are new records for the State, thus expanding its geographic distribution, it is the first record of macromycetes associated with tropical holm oaks in southeastern Mexico.</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
