“…Although steroids are rather common in the Basidiomycota, they have not been reported yet from the genus Fomitiporia . Studies on Fomitiporia ellipsoidea metabolites indicated that this fungus produced a large amount of common ergosterol and its derivatives but this species has since been moved to the genus Phellinus (currently valid name: Phellinus ellipsoidea ) [ 11 , 12 ]. The close relationship between these two genera has seen the transfer of several other species previously assigned to the genus Phellinus to the genus Fomitiporia , examples being species like F. erecta , F. hartigii , F. robusta , F. punctata , F. hippophaeicola and F. pseudopunctata [ 13 ].…”

A mycelial culture of the Kenyan basidiomycete Fomitiporia aethiopica was fermented on rice and the cultures were extracted with methanol. Subsequent HPLC profiling and preparative chromatography of its crude extract led to the isolation of five previously undescribed pregnenolone type triterpenes 1–5, for which we propose the trivial name aethiopinolones A–E. The chemical structures of the aethiopinolones were determined by extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR, and HRMS data analysis. The compounds exhibited moderate cytotoxic effects against various human cancer cell lines, but they were found devoid of significant nematicidal and antimicrobial activities.

This study addressed three important aims: (1) undermining the previously obtained raw data about wood-decaying fungi (WDF) distribution and continuously investigating permanent plots to address certain scientific questions in ecology, (2) resolving the higher-level phylogeny of WDF with the help of multiple loci, and (3) testing and estimating the medicinal values of species that are closely related to well-known medicinal species. More than 1200 species and 2469 strains of WDF in China were identified from 28908 specimens collected from a series of field investigations. Using these materials, studies in multiple disciplines, such as ecology, taxonomy and phylogeny, and medicine, have been performed. With respect to ecology, the diversity of wood-decaying polypores significantly differed among a boreal forest zone, a temperate and warm temperate forest zone, and a tropical and subtropical forest zone. For instance, from north to south, the number and proportion of brown-rot species and the proportion of species found on fallen trunks were both decreased. The ecological patterns of wood-decaying polypores on gymnosperm and angiosperm trees were also explored by a case study in Northeast China. Although the total species richness was similar between the two tree groups, several other characteristics were significantly different, such as community structure and richness in certain substrates. The taxonomy and phylogeny of wide samples were referred to and their phylogenetic positions were resolved or at least partially established. In particular, phylogenetic knowledge about four genera, Fomitiporia, Ganoderma, Inonotus and Perenniporia, which include medicinal species, was essential for further research to determine the medicinal values of these types of fungi. Among these medicinal species, we mainly focused on Inonotus obliquus for its medicinal purposes. Polyphenols, polysaccharides and lanostane-type triterpenoids, extracted from the sterile conk of this species, could dramatically decrease levels of free radicals, DPPH and hydroxyl radicals, respectively. The metabolic profiles (both production and composition) of cultured I. obliquus mycelia could be altered by co-culture with other medicinal species or by induction of S-nitrosylation and denitrosylation, which may enhance the antioxidant capacity of I. obliquus.

“…Recently, molecular data along with morphology were used to certify the taxonomy and phylogeny of wood-inhabiting fungi in China (Cui et al 2008, 2011b, Cui 2013, Cui & Decock 2013, Li & Cui 2013, Tian et al 2013, Yuan 2013, Zhao & Cui 2013, Zhao et al 2013). During investigations of wood-inhabiting fungi in China, nearly 200 specimens were preliminarily identified as Datronia spp., but their taxonomic affinities and phylogenetic relationships remain uncertain.…”

“…In the last two decades, extensive taxonomic studies of wood-inhabiting fungi in China have been carried out, and many new species were described based on morphological characters ( Dai 1995 , Dai & Niemelä 1997 , Langer & Dai 1998 , Dai et al 2002 , 2003 , 2004 , 2009 , 2010 , 2011 , Cui & Dai 2006 , Cui et al 2011a , Dai 2010 , Li & Cui 2010 , He & Li 2011 ).

Taxonomic and phylogenetic studies on Datronia were carried out. Phylogeny based on ITS, nLSU and RBP2 regions revealed that Datronia in current sense includes species belonging to three distantly related clades in polypores. The Datronia in a restricted sense is proposed for the clade including the type species D. mollis and D. stereoides. Neodatronia gen. nov. was proposed for two new resupinate species, N. gaoligongensis and N. sinensis. Species of Neodatronia differ from Datronia s.s. by their resupinate basidiomes, moderately to frequently branched skeletal hyphae in subiculum. Datroniella gen. nov., typified by D. scutellata was proposed for species in the other clade. Four new species of Datroniella, D. melanocarpa, D. subtropica, D. tibetica and D. tropica, were identified. Species of Datroniella differ from Datronia s.s. by their moderately to frequently branched skeletal hyphae in context and absence of dendrohyphidia. While, differentiate from Neodatronia by their small pileate, effused-reflexed or rarely resupinate basidiomes and absence of dendrohyphidia. Illustrated descriptions of the new species and two new genera are provided. The main morphological differences between Datronia, Datroniella, Neodatronia and related genera are discussed, identification keys to related genera and species in each genus are provided.
