Pseudolagarobasidium calcareum: Japanese records and cultural characteristics

Pseudolagarobasidium (Basidiomycota): on the reinstatement of a genus of parasitic, saprophytic, and endophytic resupinate fungi

“…The three species are rather similar in terms of fruiting-body morphology, in that they have a hydnoid, resupinate fruiting-body of a soft consistency, clamped hyphae, yellowish to brownish hyphal walls, gloeocystidia, and broadly ellipsoid to subglobose spores (Fig. 1;Wu 1990 (p. 112); Maekawa and Hasebe 2002).…”

Taxonomy of corticioid fungi in Japan : Present status and future prospects

“…Parmasto (1968) introduced a new system for classification of corticioid fungi, and Japanese species were reclassified accordingly ( Maekawa, 1993b , 1994 ). New and previously unreported Japanese species continued to be described ( Maekawa, Arita, & Hayashi, 1982 ; Maekawa & Arita, 1984 ; Maekawa, 1987 , 1990 , 1991a , 1991b , 1992 , 1993a , 1997a , 1997b , 1998 , 1999 , 2000a , 2000b , 2003 ; Núñez & Ryvarden, 1997 ; Nakasone & Gilbertson, 1998 ; Maekawa & Hasebe, 2002 ; Maekawa & Nordén, 2002 ; Suhara, Maekawa, Kubayashi, Sakai, & Kondo, 2002 ; Maekawa, Suhara, Kinjo, & Kondo, 2003 ; Hjortstam & Ryvarden, 2004 ; Maekawa, Suhara, Kinjo, Kondo, & Hoshi, 2005 ; Wu, Wang, & Yu, 2010 ; Suhara, Maekawa, Ushijima, Kinjo, & Hoshi, 2010 ; Suhara, Maekawa, & Ushijima, 2011 ; Chen, Wu, & Chen, 2017 , 2018 ; Ushijima & Maekawa, 2018 ; Ushijima, Sotome, & Maekawa, 2019 ; Yagame & Maekawa, 2019 ; Maekawa et al, 2020 ; Yurchenko, Wu, & Maekawa, 2020 ). The currently known species of Japanese corticioid fungi are listed in Table 1 ; there are 442 species in 160 genera belonging to 14 orders.…”

“…Taxonomic studies on corticioid fungi distributed in both archipelagos have been carried out by several Japanese mycologists ( Ito & Imai, 1940 ; S. Ito, 1955 ; Maekawa, 1993b , 1994 , 1997a , 1997b , 1998 , 1999 , 2000a , 2000b , 2010 ; Maekawa & Hasebe, 2002 ; Maekawa et al, 2003 , 2005 ; Sato, Uzuhashi, Hosoya, & Hosaka, 2010 ; Suhara et al, 2010 , 2011 ; Hosaka, 2018 ). These reports indicate that 146 corticioid species belonging to 77 genera are recorded in the subtropical regions of Japan; 100 species in 58 genera are recorded in the Nansei Islands, and 76 species in 50 genera are recorded in the Ogasawara Islands (see footnote to Table 1 ).…”

Corticioid fungi (Basidiomycota) in mangrove forests of the islands of Iriomote and Okinawa, Japan

“…In Japan, mangrove trees thrive mainly in intertidal zones of the mouths of rivers located in the southwestern subtropical region of the Japanese Archipelago. Although 98 species of the corticioid fungi have been collected from the subtropical inland forests and described (Maekawa 1993(Maekawa , 1994(Maekawa , 1997(Maekawa , 1998(Maekawa , 1999(Maekawa , 2000Maekawa and Hasebe 2002), no corticioid species has been known from the Japanese mangrove forests.…”
