Antrodiella niemelaei, a new polypore species related to Antrodiella americana.

Abstract

A new polypore species, Antrodiella niemelaei Vampola et Vlasák, occurring on dead fruitbodies of Pseudochaete tabacina, is described. In Europe, the species has to date been identified as Antrodiella americana. The most important macro-and microscopic features of the two species are discussed and molecular characteristics are provided.

Molecular phylogenetic evaluation of Antrodiella and morphologically allied genera in China

“…The cyanophilic reaction of the skeletal hyphae was always followed, and considered an important and consistent character. Recently, DNA-based molecular phylogenetic studies of Antrodiella and allied genera were undertaken (Johannesson et al 2000;Binder et al 2005;Vampola and Vlasák 2011;. These revealed the non-monophyletic background of Antrodiella, and showed very complicated relationships among species in genera of Antrodiella , Flaviporus , Junghuhnia and Steccherinum (Miettinen et al 2012).…”

“…However, it could be a species complex as many researchers have suggested (Vampola and Pouzar 1996;Spirin and Zmitrovich 2003;Vampola 2011), and should be divided into separate sibling species. The latest phylogenetic investigation supports this proposal and European specimens have been recently separated from the complex as a new species, Antrodiella niemelaei Vampola et Vlasák (Vampola and Vlasák 2011).…”
