Notes on Junghuhnia (Agaricomycetes) in Brazil

“…org.br/) and Lista de Espécies da Flora do Brasil (http:// floradobrasil.jbrj.gov.br/) and in the literature (Bononi 1992;Almeida-Filho et al 1993;Sotão et al 2002;Baltazar & Gibertoni 2009;Gibertoni & Drechsler-Santos 2010;Westphalen et al 2010;Westphalen et al 2012;Soares et al 2014a).…”

“…Recently, several studies including new species and new records of polypores in Brazil have been published (Baltazar et al 2014;Baldoni et al 2015;Campos-Santana et al 2014;Motato-Vásquez et al 2014;2015a;b;Soares et al 2014b;Westphalen et al 2014;Pires et al 2015), but few included species of Junghuhnia (Westphalen et al 2010;2012). In the current study, we present descriptions of J. semisupiniformis and J. globospora and a key to the accepted species of Junghuhnia reported in Brazil.…”

“…5 19 (1): 45 (1984) ≡ Poria carneola Bres., Hedwigia 35(5): 282 (1896). Description: Westphalen et al (2012) Distribution: Tropical and subtropical species. In Brazil, reports are known for the States of Amazonas, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul (Baltazar & Gibertoni 2009;Gugliotta et al 2015).…”

“…It is characterized by annual, resupinate, eff used, rarely pileate basidiomata, a dimitic hyphal system, encrusted cystidia, and obovoid to cylindrical basidiospores (Spirin et al 2007;Westphalen et al 2012). Th e genus comprises 37 legitimate species (http:// www.indexfungorum.org/; Kirk et al 2008), eight of which were reported in Brazil: Junghuhnia carneola, J.…”

Pileate polypores from Araucaria Forests in Southern Brazil

“…The priest J. Rick was the pioneer in the study of macroscopic fungi, including polypores, of Rio Grande do Sul (Fidalgo 1962, Rick 1960. After that, several other taxonomic researchers have been undertaken in the State on that group (Silveira & Guerrero 1991, Groposo & Loguercio-Leite 2002, Coelho et al 2006, Coelho et al 2009, Westphalen et al 2010, Reck et al 2011, Westphalen et al 2012. Silveira et al (2008) did a survey of the pileate polypores from the São Francisco de Paula National Forest, providing a preliminary identification key for 38 species found in that study.…”
