Lethal wilting was observed on young olive trees cv Favolosa in a grove in central Italy. White mycelial strands wrapped the basal portion of the stems that had been buried during planting. The bark was rotted and the xylem was discoloured. A fungal morphotype was strictly associated with symptomatic plants and identified as Dematophora (ex Rosellinia) necatrix. Pathogenicity tests on cvs Favolosa, Leccino and Ogliarola demonstrated that D. necatrix was the causal agent of the disease. Our investigations revealed that infections occurring during autumn and winter greatly favour the disease. By applying a marcottage to the inoculation point, we accelerated the course of the disease and mimicked the lethal outcome observed in the field. In in vitro tests, seven systemic (potential) fungicides strongly inhibited D. necatrix. Dentamet, Al-phosphite and Thiophanate methyl were selected to be tested in planta with a curative and preventive modality. Only Thiophanate methyl, in preventive modality, fully protected the plants from disease progression throughout the observation period. An additional fungal species was strictly associated with both diseased and apparently healthy plants. Morphological and molecular features identified the fungus as Emmia lacerata, a polypore species within the Irpicaceae, which is the agent of white rot on dead woody substrates. To our knowledge, this is the first time that E. lacerata has been reported in Italy and worldwide on olive trees. Inoculation of ‛Favolosa' trees revealed that it colonizes the xylem without causing visible alterations. The possible role of E. lacerata in the olive tree-D. necatrix pathosystem is discussed.

... Two more species were accommodated in the genus by Kotiranka and Saarenoska (1993) i.e., Efibula rosea and E. verruculosa. Zmitrovich et al. (2006) enlarged the genus with eight more species, E. aurata, E. bubalina, E. cordylines, E. corymbata, E. ginnsii, E. subodontoidea, E. subquercina and E. tuberculata. Subsequent phylogenetic analysis (Wu et al. 2010) showed that Efibula sensu Zmitrovich et al. (2006) was polyphyletic and, according to Floudas and Hibbett (2015), only five species were accepted in the genus namely E. americana, E. clarki, E. gracilis, E. tropica and E. tuberculata. ...

... The diagnostic micro-morphological features include a mono-or dimitic hyphal system, and absence or the presence of cystidia. The cystidia, when present, are thin-to thick-walled, often apically or completely incrusted, and cylindrical, conical to subulate (Reid 1962;Maas Geesteranus 1974;Gilbertson and Ryvarden 1986;Zmitrovich et al. 2006;Lim and Jung 2003;Miettinen et al. 2007;this study). ...

The phlebioid clade (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) accommodates numerous species of corticioid and polyporoid fungi of the Phanerochaetaceae, Irpicaceae, and Meruliaceae. The present study used morphological and phylogenetic approaches to revise the generic classification of the phlebioid clade and survey species diversity. The phylogenetic analyses were performed using sequences of multiple genes, including the nuc rDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS), the D1-D2 domains of 28S rDNA (28S), the RNA polymerase II largest subunit (rpb1), the RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (rpb2), and the translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1). We overall recognize 57 genera including six new ones (Alboefibula, Cremeoderma, Gelatinofungus, Luteochaete, Phanerochaetella and Quasiphlebia). We describe 26 new species belonging to 15 genera (Alboefibula bambusicola, A. gracilis, Crustodontia taiwanensis, Cytidiella albomarginata, Efibula matsuensis, E. turgida, E. subglobispora, Gelatinofungus brunneus, Hydnophlebia aurantia, H. crocata, Irpex lenis, Mycoaciella efibulata, Phanerochaete alpina, P. crystallina, P. guangdongensis, P. rhizomorpha, P. spadicea, P. subcarnosa, Phanerochaetella formosana, Phlebiopsis odontoidea, P. yushaniae, Quasiphlebia densa, Rhizochaete chinensis, Roseograndinia jilinensis, R. minispora, and Scopuloides allantoidea), and present 18 new combinations belonging to 12 genera (Cremeoderma unicum, Crustodontia nigrodontea, C. tongxiniana, Cytidiella albida, Efibula intertexta, Hydnophlebia alachuana, Irpex laceratus, I. latemarginatus, I. rosettiformis, Luteochaete subglobosa, Luteoporia lutea, Phanerochaetella angustocystidiata, P. exilis, P. leptoderma, P. xerophila, Phlebiopsis alba, Rhizochaete lutea, Scopuloides dimorpha). Descriptions, illustrations and notes of new species and some new records are provided, as well as identification keys to genera of each family.
... Sarcodontia as defined here is a small genus of three taxa, S. setosa, the generic type, S. amplississma, and S. uda, based on morphologic and phylogenetic data. In contrast, Nikolajeva (1961), Spirin (2001), andZmitrovich et al. (2006) took a broad approach to Sarcodontia and included taxa currently classified in Mycoacia, Irpiciporus, and Spongipellis; see discussion of taxa excluded from Sarcodontia below. Maintaining S. uda in Phlebia or Mycoacia is not upheld by phylogenetic analyses, whereas its placement in Sarcodontia is supported by multiple gene sequence analyses (see Justo et al. 2017, fig. ...

Species of Radulomyces (Radulomycetaceae, Agaricales) with spines were studied by morphological and molecular methods. Phylogenetic analyses and morphological studies show that Radulomyces paumanokensis is a later synonym of Radulomyces copelandii and that Radulomyces licentii is a distinct taxon. Based on morphologic and molecular data, the new genus Noblesia (Meruliaceae, Polyporales) is proposed to accommodate Sistotrema croceum and Peniophora femsjoeensis. Sarcodontia is emended and restricted to three species with 13 taxa excluded from the genus. For many years, Sarcodontia crocea was based on an erroneous concept of Sistotrema croceum. The correct name for the taxon with striking yellow spines found on Malus and Pyrus in Europe is Sarcodontia setosa; its North American sister species is Sarcodontia amplissima comb. nov. Hydnum sulphureum is a synonym of Sarcodontia uda, and Acia flava is a later synonym of Xylodon quercinus. Species excluded from Sarcodontia are discussed, and the new combination Hyalodon sibirica is proposed.
... It is characterised by its bright yellow colour, incrusted hyphae in subiculum and small ellipsoid spores. Zmitrovich et al. (2006) transferred Ceriporia sulphuricolor to Gloeoporus, but the only sequence available (isolated from Chinese specimen) is rather distant in phylograms from this genus (e.g. Yuan et al. 2016 and would be better placed elsewhere. ...

A total of 438 taxa were recorded, of which 259 were not published in the first paper. Short discussions of 70 rare, endangered or otherwise interesting taxa are presented. The most interesting recorded species are: Amaurodon mustialaensis, Ceriporia pierii, Ceriporia sulphuricolor, Dichostereum effuscatum, Gloeocystidiellum bisporum, Gloeodontia columbiensis, Hydropus trichodermus, Odonticium helgae, Phlebia tremelloidea, Sistotrema subtrigonospermum and Trechinothus smardae.
... Efibula Sheng H. Wu (1990: 21) is characterized by resupinate basidiomata with smooth hymenophore, a monomitic hyphal system; simple septate and compact subiculum; lack of cystidia; basidia cylindrical to clavate, and hyaline, thinwalled, smooth, ellipsoid to oblong, acyanophilous basidiospores (Wu 1990). So far 15 species have been accepted in the genus worldwide (Bourdot & Galzin1911, Cunningham 1954, Hjortstam & Ryvarden 1980, Wu 1990, Kotiranta & Saarenoksa 1993, Zmitrovich et al. 2006, Floudas & Hibbett 2015. ...

Efibula yunnanensis is proposed as a distinct new species based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic data. The species is characterized by an annual growth habit, resupinate basidiomata with smooth, cream to pale brown hymenial surface, a monomitic hyphal system with thin-walled, simple septate generative hyphae and ellipsoid, hyaline, thin-walled, smooth, IKI-, CB-basidiospores. The phylogenetic analyses based on ITS sequence data analyses revealed that E. yunnanensis was sister to a clade comprised E. clarkii and E. gracilis, and then grouped with E. americana and E. tuberculata.
... et al. and C. cystidiata were recovered in a clade, with very high support. Emmia was established merely based on morphological characters, with E. latemarginata as the type species (Zmitrovich et al. 2006). Subsequently, its generic status was supported by phylogenetic studies, and an additional species: E. lacerata (N. ...

Species of Ceriporia (Irpicaceae, Basidiomycota) are saprotrophs or endophytes in forest ecosystems. To evaluate the taxonomy and generic relationships of Ceriporia and other related taxa, we used morphology and multigene phylogenetic analyses based on sequence data from nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS) region, nuc 28S rDNA (28S), and RNA polymerase II largest subunit (rpb1). Our results show that Ceriporia sensu lato is polyphyletic and distributed across multiple clades in the Irpicaceae, Phanerochaetaceae, and Meruliaceae. Some species previously considered in Ceriporia are now recovered in Meruliopsis, resulting in four new combinations: M. albomellea, M. crassitunicata, M. nanlingensis, and M. pseudocystidiata. Two new species of Meruliopsis are described: M. leptocystidiata from northeast China and South Korea and M. parvispora from Taiwan. Ceriporia arbuscula is described as a new species from Taiwan. Ceriporia mellita and Meruliopsis nanlingensis are newly recorded from Japan and Taiwan, and M. taxicola is recorded from Taiwan for the first time.
... Also, various types of cystidia can be observed in the hymenium of polyporaceous fungi. This term is applied to a heterogeneous assemblage of storage, excretory, and supporting «organs» (for a detailed review of cystidial theme see Donk, 1964, Eriksson et al., 1987, Clémençon, 2004, Zmitrovich et al., 2006. For the group in question, the following types of cystidia are usually reported. ...

The system of the family Polyporaceae is presented and the overview of the order Polyporales is carried out. The family Polyporaceae s. str. was subdivided into three subfamilies, Polyporoideae, Trametoideae, and Lopharioideae. The largest subfamily Polyporoideae was subdivided into the tribes Polyporeae, Epitheleae (trib. nov.), Lentineae, and Ganodermateae. In the Polyporaceae family, two new genera were described as Pilatotrama and Szczepkamyces. Such subgenera as Cerioporus subgen. Datronia, Lentinus subgen. Polyporellus, Ganoderma subgen. Haddowia, Ganoderma subgen. Humphreya were informally described too. In the Polyporales order overview, such families as Ischnodermataceae, Incrustoporiaceae, large Fomitopsidaceae, Gelatoporiaceae, Grifolaceae, Polyporaceae, and large Meruliaceae were recognized. In the Polyporales overview, a range of new genera was described as Gloeoporellus (Incrustoporiaceae), Ranadivia (Fomitopsidaceae), Cinereomycetella (Gelatoporiaceae), Efibulella, Hermanssonia, Pappia, Resiniporus, Trullella, Vitreoporus (Meruliaceae). In total, 85 new combinations were made. The problem of taxa ranking in the Polyporales was proposed for further theoretical discussion.
... Wolfiporia and Laetiporus, like K. usambarensis, have dimitic hyphal systems. Wolfiporia, however, has resupinate basidiocarps and oblong-ellipsoid basidiospores (Zmitrovich et al. 2006). With the exception of L. persicinus, other Laetiporus species produce brightly coloured basidiocarps (Lindner and Banik 2008). ...

A large polyporoid mushroom from the West Usambara Mountains in North-eastern Tanzania produces dark brown, up to 60-cm large fruiting bodies that at maturity may weigh more than 10 kg. It has a high rate of mycelial growth and regeneration and was found growing on both dry and green leaves of shrubs; attached to the base of living trees, and it was also observed to degrade dead snakes and insects accidentally coming into contact with it. Phylogenetic analyses based on individual and concatenated data sets of nrLSU, nrSSU and the RPB2 and TEF1 genes showed it, together with Laetiporus, Phaeolus, Pycnoporellus and Wolfiporia, to form a monophyletic group in Polyporales. Based on morphological features and molecular data, it is described as Kusaghiporia usambarensis.
... Moreover, A. fissilis has globose and slightly thick-walled cyanophilous chlamydospores in the context(Kotiranta and Penzina 2001), which are not observed in O. alborubescens. Phylogenetic studies demonstrated that O. alborubescens and A. fissilis are not closely related to one another within the Meruliaceae(Figs. 1 and 2).The species described as Tyromyces transformatus Núñez & Ryvarden from Hokkaido (Japan) and later combined in Aurantiporus(Zmitrovich et al. 2006) seems to be somewhat similar to O. alborubescens in some morphological features, e.g., shrinking basidiocarp during drying. However, Aurantiporus transformatus(Núñez & Ryvarden) Spirin & Zmitr. ...

Odoria (Meruliaceae, Basidiomycota) is described as a new genus established for the threatened old-growth forest polypore Phaeolus alborubescens that was previously discussed in Aurantiporus or Tyromyces. It is characterized by the annual pinkish white spongy basidiocarp with strong sweetish smell, turning pale brown when drying, and has a positive reaction with KOH solution, the lack of cystidia, and the monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae often covered with fine orange crystals. Multigene phylogenetic analyses based on a combined (5.8S–nucLSU–rpb1–rpb2) and a single locus (nrITS) dataset place Odoria in Meruliaceae (Phlebioid clade), close to Crustodontia, Sarcodontia, Luteoporia, and Phlebiporia. Molecular as well as anatomical study of the old type specimen of P. alborubescens is also provided.
