Even so, numerous taxa remain without recent sampling and molecular data, requiring comprehensive morphological and phylogenetic investigations to ensure accurate classification within the modern classification of the Hymenochaetaceae family. ...
Specimens of poroid Hymenochaetaceae with uniquely strigose pileus surfaces were collected and studied morphologically and phylogenetically (using as markers ITS and nrLSU ribosomal DNA). Detailed morphological examination showed that the specimens belong to two distinct species of Fuscoporia. Fuscoporia sarcites comb. nov., which is proposed and recorded for the first time in Guatemala, Honduras, and Venezuela, and the newly described Fuscoporia dollingeri sp. nov., which was collected several times in Florida (USA). Morphological and ecological data of these species are compared to other similar species, and an identification key of Neotropical Fuscoporia is provided.
... Distribution: In Brazil it is found in "Cerrado" vegetation and secondary Atlantic Forest in SP, PE, RS, AP, and RR (Figure 2) [16,[89][90][91]. It is also reported to Australia, United States of America, Mexico, Japan, Senegal, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Canada, Rwanda, Bahamas, Costa Rica, France, Kenya, Bangladesh, Belize, Ecuador, Spain, Gambia, India, among other countries [48]. ...
Bryophilous fungi have at least one stage of its life cycle linked to Bryophytes. There are few studies in relation to their taxonomy and ecology all around the world, including Brazil. The Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota) have gained prominence worldwide and contained several species of economic interest. Based on a bibliographic review and discussion about identification methods and experimental models on this association a species list of bryophilous/Agaricomycetes found in Brazil was elaborated. In the works found among the techniques used to identify effective fungi/Bryophytes associations it can be cited: phylogenetics analysis, optical and electron microscopy, and cultivation experiments. In Brazil, four orders of Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota), belonging to Agaricales, Boletales, Hymenochaetales, and Polyporales, with 33 species were found associated to Bryophytes in the literature. Information of the worldwide distribution of Brazilian muscicolous species and application of these groups were realized associating edibility, toxicity, and others. It was noted that in this country there is a scarcity of scientific knowledge of this subject, that needs to be better understood in terms of ecology and taxonomy.
... It is known to occur in dense ombrophilous forest, submontane seasonal semideciduous forest, and montane seasonal semideciduous forest (Abrahão et al. 2009;Pires et al. 2017;Komonen et al. 2018 This species has high morphological plasticity and more studies are needed to clarify its strict morphological concept (Ryvarden 2004;Campo-Santana et al. 2015). Nevertheless, the gregarious, relatively small, pileate to effusedreflexed basidiomata, glabrous to scrupose or hispid abhymenial surface, brown context, subulate to ventricose hymenial setae, and small ellipsoid basidiospores are diagnostic features for its identification (Ryvarden 2004;Groposo et al. 2007;Campos-Santana et al. 2015). ...
This is the first survey of macrofungi carried out at the Poços de Caldas Plateau, Minas Gerais, Brazil, an area of high biological importance according to the Ministry of Environment. The survey of polypores was performed monthly, from June/2018 to May/2019 in ten transects (200 m² each) distributed in fragments of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, a montane seasonal semideciduous forest. Two orders, 8 families, 21 genera, and 23 species were identified, of which one is a new record for Brazil, Tropicoporus drechsleri, and 16 are new records for the state of Minas Gerais. A list of species is included in this study, as well as illustrations for the new records, a key for taxonomic identification, and remarks on the distribution of the recorded species. The study also includes annotations about substrate, taxonomy discussion, and a full description of the new record for the country.
... F. rhytiphloeus was proposed by Campos-Santana et al. [26] as a new complex species, and it resembles F. nonggangensis by basidiocarps pileate, applanate, solitary, with a distinct black line below pileus surface, setae absent. But its tubes were mostly distinctly stratified, pores smaller, 7-9 per mm, context fibrous and easily fragmented, cystidioles absent, and spores subglobose. ...
Two new species of Fulvifomes are described from specimens collected in rainforests of Nonggang Nature Reserve of southern China, based on morphological characteristics and molecular phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA (nLSU) sequences. Fulvifomes nonggangensis sp. nov. is characterized by perennial, sessile and solitary basidiocarps, applanate pileus, small cystidioles of 9.9–15.4 × 2.9–3.5 μm, large pores of 5–6 per mm, a dimitic hyphal system, and broadly ellipsoid basidiospores of 4.3–5.3 × 3.3–4.2 μm. F. tubogeneratus sp. nov. is characterized by perennial, sessile, and imbricate basidiocarps, a duplex context, small pores of 7–8 per mm, a dimitic hyphal system, and ovoid to subglobose basidiospores of 5.72 × 5.00 μm.
... Currently, there are four species of Fomitiporia that occur on woody bamboos, mainly characterized by resupinate basidiomata and the presence of hymenial setae. Fomitiporia spinescens features subapical spines on the setae, F. uncinata has uncinate setae, F. sanctichampagnatii has the largest pores in the group, and F. bambusarum differs from these by having the smallest setae (Coelho and Wright 1996;Coelho et al. 2009;Campos-Santana et al. 2015). Fomitiporia spinescens and F. sanctichampagnatii occur on unidentified bamboos, F. bambusarum on Bambusa tuldoides, Guadua sp., and Merostachys multiramea, and F. uncinata on Chusquea sp. ...
Fomitiporia:
is a genus of wood-inhabiting Hymenochaetaceae (Agaricomycetes) that includes pathogens and decomposers occurring on a wide array of plant substrates. Some species decay culms of woody bamboos, a poorly known biotic interaction. Four bambusicolous species of Fomitiporia are currently known. However, no studies concerning their phylogenetic relationships have been performed. In order to assess species boundaries and their relationships to each other, we conducted molecular phylogenetic analyses of nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer region ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS) and portions of nuc 28S rDNA (28S), RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2), and translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF1), as well as morphological analyses. Four species that occur on culms of woody bamboos, F. bambusarum, F. spinescens, F. uncinata, and the new species F. bambusipileata, grouped together in an exclusive clade within a primarily Neotropical lineage. The new species differs from all other species in the group by the pileate basidiomata. Hypotheses regarding host-exclusivity are discussed.
... In subtropical South America, only T. stratificans and T. linteus are recorded to date (Ryvarden & Meijer 2002, Drechsler-Santos et al. 2008, Rajchenberg & Robledo 2013, Campos-Santana et al. 2015, Coelho et al. 2016, Grassi et al. 2016. Tropicoporus linteus s.s. is based on southern USA and Caribbean specimens, growing on Quercus sp. and Tamarindus indica L. (1753: 34) (Tian et al. 2013). ...

Morphological revision and phylogenetic analyses, based on nrITS and nrLSU, of specimens previously considered to be member of the “Inonotus linteus” species complex from in South America reveal a new species of Tropicoporus, here named T. drechsleri. It is a parasitic polypore restricted to the seasonally dry tropical forests of subtropical South America. Illustrations, taxonomic analyses and a discussion are presented, and a key to the Tropicoporus species in the Neotropics is provided.
... Distribution: Argentina and Brazil. In Brazil, known for Santa Catarina (Gerber & Loguercio-Leite 2000, DrechslerSantos et al. 2008), Paraná (Rajchenberg & de Meijer 1990, Ryvarden & de Meijer 2002, Meijer 2006), Rio Grande do Sul (Coelho et al. 2009, Campos-Santana et al. 2015) and São Paulo states.

The diversity of polypores in Brazil is still poorly known. During a survey of this group in Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, Núcleo Santa Virgínia, São Paulo state, undertaken from April 2013 to April 2014, the species Cinereomyces dilutabilis (Loguercio-Leite & J.E. Wright) Miettinen, Flaviporus brownii (Humb.) Donk, F. subhydrophilus (Speg.) Rajchenb. & J.E. Wright, Fomitiporia bambusarum (Rick) Campos-Santana & Decock, Inonotus tropicalis (M.J. Larsen & Lombard) T. Wagner & M. Fisch., Junghuhnia carneola (Bres.) Rajchenb., Rigidoporus crocatus (Pat.) Ryvarden and Skeletocutis nivea (Jungh.) Jean Keller were found as new records for the state of São Paulo and Dichomitus cylindrosporus Ryvarden as a new record for Brazil. Full descriptions, illustrations and remarks on the species are provided.
... Application of the phylogenetic species concept, using the principle of multiple gene genealogy concordance (Taylor et al. 2000(Taylor et al. , 2006, helped to evidence diversity within complexes of Hymenochaetaceae (e.g. Decock et al. 2007;Amalfi et al. 2010Amalfi et al. , 2012Amalfi et al. , 2014Decock 2013, 2014;Vlasák and Kout 2011;Zhou et al. 2015). A posteriori, it may validate the pertinence of ecological descriptors and help to circumscribe the (bio)geographical distribution range of the various taxa (Amalfi et al. 2012). ...
... Species complexes are much less documented in the tropical areas, which are still critically underexplored (Yombiyeni et al. 2011). Nonetheless, concerning the Neotropics, Decock et al. (2007); Amalfi and Decock (2013Decock ( , 2014 and Campos-Santana et al. (2014) showed the existence of multiple phylogenetic species within the presumed Fomitiporia punctata (P. Karst.) ...

Species complexes in the poroid Hymenochaetaceae are well documented in the temperate areas. Potential species complexes are less known in tropical areas, however. In the last ten years, four phylogenetically and morphologically closely related species of Phellinus (Hymenochaetaceae) were described from various tropical/subtropical areas viz. P. caribaeo-quercicola, P. gabonensis, P. ellipsoideus, and P. castanopsidis They are characterized by cushion-shaped basidiomata, ventricose, commonly hamate hymenial setae, and broadly ellipsoid, thick-walled, pale yellowish basidiospores. Pursuing the studies of this complex, a phylogenetic approach based on DNA sequence data from the nuc rDNA regions ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS) and partial 28S (including the domains D1, D2, D3) and on part of the translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1, region between exons 4 and 8) revealed three new lineages or phylogenetic species. Two of these phylogenetic species are composed of exclusively on Neotropical specimens. One of them, described below as Phellinus amazonicus sp. nov., is represented by multiple collections originating from Neotropical, lowland, dense, moist forest at the western edge of the Amazon Basin in Ecuador, the Guiana Shield in French Guiana and (more likely) Trinidad. The second Neotropical phylogenetic species is represented in our phylogenetic analyses by a single collection from northeastern Argentina. It is also potentially known from two herbarium specimens originating from southern Brazil, for which no sequence data is available. It is left for now as Phellinus sp. 1, waiting to gather more specimens and DNA sequences data. The third new phylogenetic species is known by a single collection (pure culture) of uncertain origin. It is thought to represent Phellinus setulosus, a Southeast Asian taxa. From an evolutionary perspective, tree species occurring in the Neotropics (P. amazonicus, P. caribaeo-quercicola, and Phellinus sp. 1) have a closely related genetic background and form a well-supported Neotropical lineage.
The family Hymenochaetaceae includes a diversity of 893 species described around the world. Its representatives are known by their usually rusty colored basidiomes with a poroid hymenial surface, hydnoid or smooth, woody consistency, and wide morphological variation regarding the arrangement on the substrate. They behave as saprophytic, parasitic, ectomycorrhizal and play a fundamental role in the decomposition of wood in forest ecosystems. In the Brazilian Amazonia region, approximately 40 species of Hymenochaetaceae are currently recorded. The main goal of this study was to increase the knowledge on Hymenochaetaceae from the Brazilian Amazonia. Collections were carried out between October 2021 and April 2022 in the state of Pará, municipalities of Tomé-Açu and Bujaru, to expanding the knowledge of this fungal family to the Brazilian Amazonia. A total of 15 specimens were identified, distributed in seven genera and 12 species. Four species are new records for the state of Pará (Fomitiporia apiahyna, Phellinus neocallimorphus, Phellinus sancti-georgii, and Sclerotus extensus) and two of them are new records for the Brazilian Amazonia (P. neocallimorphus and P. sancti-georgii). Our findings contribute to taxonomic knowledge of this family in the Brazilian Amazonia and reduce the information gaps about the diversity of species.
O Estado de Mato Grosso com seu extenso território, abriga atualmente 46 unidades de con- servação estaduais que ocupam uma área equivalente a 2,8 milhões de hectares, cujo território abriga grandes belezas naturais e uma rica biodiversidade, muitas vezes ainda desconhecida, sendo capaz de prestar serviços ambientais indispensáveis à sociedade.
A Secretaria de Estado de Meio Ambiente (SEMA-MT) tem empenhado esforços juntamente com o Programa Áreas Protegidas da Amazônia (ARPA) e com pesquisadores da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso (UFMT) no levantamento e catalogação do conhecimento sobre a flora e fauna existentes nas referidas áreas protegidas. Dentre os 18 parques, o Parque Estadual Cristalino é uma das unidades de conservação estaduais que possui grande potencial de uso público e uma excepcional biodiversidade, o que tem despertado interesse crescente por parte da comunidade científica.
A grande riqueza das espécies vegetais deste parque está distribuída em diferentes fitofisionomias que variam desde Floresta Ombrófila Densa a manchas de Campinarana e Campo Rupestre. A significância desta unidade de conservação está relacionada, também, à proteção da riqueza e da composição das populações e comunidades faunísticas que vivem nesses variados ambientes, apresentando espécies ameaçadas de extinção, vulneráveis ou insuficientemente conhecidas.
O Programa de Pesquisa em Biodiversidade - PPBio apoiou as atividades de campo e a implan- tação de um sistema de amostragem padronizada, um módulo com doze parcelas amostrais. No primeiro momento, 16 (dezesseis) grupos biológicos foram inventariados, os quais permiti- ram o conhecimento detalhado da biodiversidade do Parque Estadual Cristalino e a realização de estudos mais aprofundados de distribuição, dinâmica temporal e espacial, estudos de biopros- pecção e, bem como subsídios para o uso adequado de determinadas áreas do parque. Por meio da cooperação técnica entre a SEMA-MT, a UFMT e o ARPA, foi possível a publicação deste livro que contém a compilação dos estudos sistemáticos realizados no Parque Estadual Cristalino. O conhecimento científico gerado por este trabalho, possibilitará uma maior valorização da unidade de conservação por parte das comunidades acadêmicas e da sociedade em geral, princi- palmente para as populações locais, que poderão utilizar-se desta publicação como instrumen- to para o processo de conscientização em ações de educação ambiental, contribuindo, assim, para a conservação in situ da biodiversidade do Parque Estadual Cristalino e da Amazônia.
