Knowledge of the Finnish aphyllophoroid funga has increased substantially in recent years. In this article, we present two species new to Finland: <em>Spiculogloea subminuta</em> Hauerslev and <em>Typhula suecica</em> I. Olariaga, G. Corriol, I. Salcedo & K. Hansen, and document <em>Sistotrema luteoviride</em> Kotir. & K.-H. Larss. for the third time globally. We also contribute 50 new records of 33 nationally rare species (with a maximum of ten previous records in Finland) and list 52 regionally new species, found for the first time in a certain subzone of the boreal vegetation zone in Finland. Each record is enclosed and contains notes on the substrate. Furthermore, the ecology of the nationally new species and the distribution of rare species are discussed.
This article contributes to the knowledge of Finnish aphyllophoroid funga (mainly polypores and corticioids) with nationally or regionally new species and records of rare species. The record of Tubulicrinopsis cystidiata is the second in the world and Tomentella fuscocinerea
Aphyllophoroid fungi constitute an artificial order of fungi in Basidiomycota. It comprises a diverse group of different kind of fungi, such as corticioids, polypores and clavarioids. According to Kotiranta et al. [1] there are 980 aphyllophoroid species found in Finland. Aphyllophoroid fungi are important in decomposition of dead wood, and, thus they play an important role in woody ecosystems. In addition to wood decayers, a part of aphyllophoroid fungi are litter decayers, ectomycorrhizal, parasitic fungi and mycoparasites [1].
