A new species, two new combinations and notes on Fomitopsidaceae (Agaricomycetes, Polyporales)

Abstract

Rhodofomitopsis roseomagna sp. nov. is described as a new species from the Brazilian Atlantic forest based on morphological and molecular analyses. The species is characterized by the brownish to lilac, pileate basidiomata, round pores (5–6 per mm), and cylindrical to subcylindrical basidiospores (4–5 × 2.0–2.5 μm). Phylogenetic analyses based on combined ITS and nLSU rDNA sequences show that the new species belongs to the recently described genus Rhodofomitopsis. We also propose Rhodofomitopsis flabellata and Fomitopsis bondartsevae as new combinations. Notes on some tropical species of Fomitopsidaceae, description and illustration of the new species, and a key to the species of Rhodofomitopsis reported from the Neotropics are provided.

Two new brown rot polypores from tropical China

“…Soares, Ryvarden & Gibertoni were introduced as new species and F. bondartsevae (Spirin) A.M.S. Soares & Gibertoni was proposed as a new combination ( Soares et al 2017 ; Tibpromma et al 2017 ; Liu et al 2019 ). In the latest study, ten species have been recognised in the Fomitopsis pinicola complex ( Haight et al 2019 ; Liu et al 2021 ).…”

“…In addition, four species Fomitopsis caribensis B.K. Cui (Soares et al 2017;Tibpromma et al 2017;Liu et al 2019). In the latest study, ten species have been recognised in the Fomitopsis pinicola complex (Haight et al 2019;Liu et al 2021).…”

Species Diversity, Molecular Phylogeny, and Ecological Habits of Fomitopsis (Polyporales, Basidiomycota)

“…Subsequently, phylogenetic analyses indicated that Fomitopsis is polyphyletic and the taxonomic position of Fomitopsis is still problematic ( Kim et al, 2005 , 2007 ; Justo and Hibbett, 2011 ; Ortiz-Santana et al, 2013 ). Recently, taxonomic and phylogenetic studies on Fomitopsis have been carried out and several new species have been described ( Li et al, 2013 ; Han et al, 2014 , 2016 ; Han and Cui, 2015 ; Soares et al, 2017 ; Haight et al, 2019 ; Liu et al, 2019 , 2021a ; Zhou et al, 2021 ). Han et al (2016) investigated phylogenetic relationships of Fomitopsis and its related genera and reported that species previously placed in Fomitopsis were divided into seven lineages: Fomitopsis s. s., Fragifomes B.K.…”
