“…Like P. beninensis , P. rattanicola is also saprotrophic because it was collected from dead rattan 8 . However, knowing that Phylloporia species display a high level of host specificity 7 , 10 , 15 , 43 , and that P. rattanicola is only collected on rattan while P. beninensis is collected on hardwood, we can safely say that P. beninensis and P. rattanicola do not belong to the same morpho- ecological group as stated above.…”

“…The presence of setae in Phylloporia was not noted until reported by Wu et al 10 . Ecologically, some Phylloporia species are putatively host-specific parasites on living leaves, bushes, branches, and trees 7 , 13 , 15 – 17 , others are saprotrophs on wood 18 – 20 , with the trophic status of others still unknown 10 .…”

“…From this pioneering molecular work, Phylloporia received much more attention, resulting in the current recognition of 61 species worldwide 8 – 13 . The current morphological concept for Phylloporia species includes annual to perennial basidiomata with resupinate, pileate-sessile, or pileate-stipitate habits, homogenous to two-layered context, monomitic to dimitic hyphal system, presence or absence of cystidioles, and subglobose to ellipsoid basidiospores 8 , 10 , 13 , 14 .

Species of the wood-decay genus Phylloporia (Hymenochaetaceae, Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) are widely distributed in the tropics. Phylloporia species are, however, morphologically and ecologically diverse, which makes morphology-based species identification challenging. In this study, we re-examined species of Phylloporia reported from Benin (West Africa). Using an integrative approach combining morphology, ecology, and phylogenetic analyses, we describe Phylloporia beninensis sp. nov. and report Phylloporia littoralis for the first time outside of its type locality. Phylloporia beninensis sp. nov. is characterized by its annual and imbricate basidiomata, duplex context with a black zone separating the upper context from the lower one, dimitic hyphal system, presence of cystidioles, basidia of 9–12 × 4–5 μm, and subglobose to ellipsoid basidiospores measuring 3–4.6 × 2.1–3.6 μm. Detailed descriptions with illustrations for the new species are provided. With the addition of the new species, 15 Phylloporia species are now known to occur in tropical Africa. Our discovery of a new Phylloporia species in Benin should stimulate further mycological investigations in tropical African ecosystems to discover other new polypore species. To facilitate further taxonomy studies on tropical African Phylloporia taxa, a key to the known tropical African species is provided.

Delimiting species in Basidiomycota: a review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Species delimitation is one of the most fundamental processes in biology. Biodiversity undertakings, for instance, require explicit species concepts and criteria for species delimitation in order to be relevant and translatable. However, a perfect species concept does not exist for Fungi. Here, we review the species concepts commonly used in Basidiomycota, the second largest phylum of Fungi that contains some of the best known species of mushrooms, rusts, smuts, and jelly fungi. In general, best practice is to delimitate species, publish new taxa, and conduct taxonomic revisions based on as many independent lines of evidence as possible, that is, by applying a so-called unifying (or integrative) conceptual framework. However, the types of data used vary considerably from group to group. For this reason we discuss the different classes of Basidiomycota, and for each provide: (i) a general introduction with difficulties faced in species recognition, (ii) species concepts and methods for species delimitation, and (iii) community recommendations and conclusions.
