Neofavolus yunnanensis sp. nov. (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) from China: evidence from morphology and DNA sequence data

Abstract

A new wood-inhabiting species, Neofavolus yunnanensis, is proposed based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. The species is characterized by an annual growth, laterally stipitate basidiomata with reniform to semicircular pileus, dimitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, IKI–, CB–, and cylindrical, hyaline, thin-walled, smooth, IKI–, CB– basidiospores. Sequences of ITS and LSU nrRNA gene regions of the studied samples were generated, and phylogenetic analyses were performed with maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference methods. The phylogenetic analyses showed that N. yunnanensis was nested into the genus Neofavolus and then was as a sister with N. mikawae and then grouped with N. alveolaris and N. cremeoalbidus.

A new species of <i>Neofavolus </i>(<i>Polyporales, Basidiomycota</i>) from Brazil

“…Figure 1 shows the BA topology. Phylogenetic analyses were consistent with previous results ( Sotome et al, 2013 ; Seelan et al, 2015 ; Zhou & Cui, 2017 ; Luo, Ma, & Zhao, 2019 ; Xing, Zhou, & Cui, 2020 ), indicating that the new taxon is within the clad e Neofavolus and is sister to Neofavolus subpurpurascens , another Neotropical species, which demonstrate biogeographic correlation. In addition, clades with Favolus Fr.…”

<p><strong><em>Gloeodontia yunnanensis</em> <em>sp. nov. </em>(Russulales, Basidiomycota) from China, evidenced by morphological characters and phylogenetic analyses</strong></p>

“…Gloeodontia is a group of 'corticioid fungi' (Bernicchia & Gorjón 2010, Dai 2011), but only one species has been reported from China. Many recently described taxa of corticioid fungi from China were from subtropical and tropical areas (Zhao & Wu 2017, Shen et al 2018, Liu et al 2019, Luo et al 2019, Wu et al 2019. The new species in the present study, Gloeodontia yunnanensis, is also from the subtropics.…”

<strong>Three new <em>Xenasmatella</em> (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) species from China</strong>

“…In geographical distribution, five species of Xenasmatella were reported from this region (Dai 2011, Huang et al 2019. The diversity of Xenasmatella in China is still not well known, especially in the subtropical and tropical regions and many recently described taxa of wood-rotting fungi were from these areas (Zhao & Cui 2013, 2014, Huang et al 2019, Liu et al 2019, Luo et al 2019. Xenasmatella rhizomorpha, X. tenuis and X.…”
