Steccherinum puerense and S. rubigimaculatum spp. nov. (Steccherinaceae, Polyporales), two new species from southern China

A phylogenetic and taxonomic study on Steccherinum (Polyporales, Basidiomycota): Focusing on three new Steccherinum species from southern China

“…New DNA sequencing techniques have revolutionized the researches of fungal taxonomy and diversity, in which about 150 thousand species of fungi have been described ( Hyde, 2022 ). Wood decaying fungi have been studied intensively in recent years ( Bernicchia and Gorjón, 2010 ; Dai, 2011 ; Cui et al., 2019 ; Guan et al., 2020 ; Wang and Zhao, 2021 ; Westphalen et al., 2021 ; Wu et al., 2021a ; Wu et al, 2021b ; Wu et al., 2021b ; Luo and Zhao, 2022 ; Luo et al., 2022 ; Qu et al., 2022 ; Wu et al., 2022a ; Wu et al, 2022b ), but the hydnoid species in the order Polyporales are still not well investigated in China, especially in the subtropics and tropics. In the present study, three new species, Steccherinum fissurutum , S. punctatum and S. subtropicum spp.…”

“…It is a cosmopolitan genus characterized by a combination of resupinate to effused-reflexed or pileate basidiome with a membranaceous consistencey, hymenophore odontioid to hydnoid, a dimitic hyphal structure with clamp connections or simple-septate generative hyphae, cystidia numerous, strongly encrusted in the obtuse apex, basidia subclavate and basidiospores hyaline, thin-walled, smooth, ellipsoid to subcylindrical, acyanophilous and negative in Melzer’s reagent ( Fries, 1821 ; Gray, 1821 ; Bernicchia and Gorjón, 2010 ). So far, about 80 species have been accepted in this genus worldwide ( Fries, 1821 ; Banker, 1906 ; Banker, 1912 ; Cunningham, 1958 ; Snell and Dick, 1958 ; Lindsey and Gilbertson, 1977 ; Ryvarden, 1978 ; Lindsey and Gilbertson, 1979 ; Burdsall and Nakasone, 1981 ; Melo, 1995 ; Legon and Roberts, 2002 ; Yuan and Dai, 2005a ; Spirin et al., 2007 ; Hjortstam and Ryvarden, 2008 ; Bernicchia and Gorjón, 2010 ; Miettinen et al., 2012 ; Yuan and Wu, 2012 ; Miettinen and Ryvarden, 2016 ; Westphalen et al., 2018 ; Liu and Dai, 2021 ; Westphalen et al., 2021 ; Wu et al., 2021a ; Wu et al., 2021b ; Dong et al., 2022 ).
