Resupinate poroid fungi from tropical rain forests in Brazil: two new species and new records

Abstract

Ceriporia angulata and Dichomitus amazonicus are described and illustrated as new species based on specimens collected in Reserva Ducke, in the state of Amazonas. Dichomitus ecuadoriensis is reported as new to Brazil and D. cavernulosus is a new record for the states of Amazonas, Rondônia and Roraima. Ceriporia spissa is a new record for the Brazilian Amazonia. Descriptions and illustrations of the new species, and keys to species of Ceriporia and Dichomitus known for the Neotropics are provided.

A new contribution to Megasporoporia sensu lato: Six new species and three new combinations

“…Dichomitus amazonicus Gomes-Silva et al was described from Amazonas (Gomes-Silva et al, 2012 ) and was later combined as Megasporia amazonica (Gomes-Silva et al) C. R. S. Lira and Gibertoni (Lira et al, 2021 ). The molecular data of the type specimen of M. amazonica (Ryvarden 48295) are not available.…”

New records of Auriculariales, Hymenochaetales and Polyporales (Fungi: Agaricomycetes) for the Caatinga Biome

“…Notes on distribution: this species is widespread in tropical America and Africa (Masuka and Ryvarden 1999). In Brazil, it was recorded for the Atlantic Rain Forest, Amazon, and Cerrado biomes (Gomes-Silva et al 2011b;Abrahão et al 2012;Gugliotta et al 2012). This seems to be the most widely distributed Dichomitus species in Brazil.…”
