New records of Ganoderma multipileum and Tomophagus cattienensis collected from Changa Manga Forest and Lahore, Pakistan, are presented based on morphological and nuclear rDNA ITS sequence data from fresh basidiomata. Specimens previously treated as G. lucidum from
Pakistan were reviewed and found to represent different species, among them G. multipileum. Specimens of T. cattienensis determined for the first time from Pakistan presented morphological features similar to T. colossus but corresponded molecularly to T. cattienensis;
the morphological description for T. cattienensis is expanded accordingly.
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.
