Grammothele and Theleporus have a shallow pore surface, which makes them morphologically close to corticioid fungi. However, from a phylogenetic perspective, they are polyphyletic genera within the core polyporoid clade of the Polyporales. Eight specimens with a shallow pore surface from Hainan, southern China, were morphologically and phylogenetic...

... Microscopically, the hyphal system is usually dimitic or trimitic, rarely monomitic; the generative hyphae are usually with clamp-connections; cystidia are mostly absent; basidiospores are thin-to thick-walled, smooth to ornamented and colorless to brown. All species produce a white rot (Justo et al. 2017 (Zhou and Dai 2012;Ryvarden 2015;Yuan 2015;Wu et al. 2016;Hyde et al. 2019). The genus is characterized by having resupinate basidiomata with shallow poroid hymenophore consisting of angular, partly sinuous, irregular or incomplete pores, dimitic or trimitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae and dextrinoid skeletal hyphae, usually presence of dendrohyphidia, and ellipsoid to cylindrical basidiospores that are thin-walled, smooth, colorless and not reacting both in Melzer's reagent and Cotton Blue. ...

Megasporia insularis and Porogramme principes are described as new species based on morphological and molecular data of specimens collected on the Island of Príncipe (São Tomé and Príncipe Archipelago). Megasporia insularis is characterized by the hymenophore with large regular pores, a di-trimitic hyphal system with strongly dextrinoid skeletal hyphae, apically acuminate hyphal endings at the dissepiments edges, presence of dendrohyphidia, and large, subcylindrical basidiospores. Our phylogenetic analyses of the ITS-nLSU-mtSSU-RPB1-RPB2-TEF regions support the placement of M. insularis within an inclusive clade containing the redefined Megasporia. Porogramme principes has small irregular pores, a dimitic hyphal system with weakly dextrinoid skeletal hyphae, and small, oblong-ellipsoid basidiospores. The phylogenetic analyses of Porogramme and related genera place P. principes, together Grammothele taiwanensis, in a supported clade sister to P. subargentea, and separate from the species clade Grammothele s.str. Therefore, we propose to combine the species G. taiwanensis as Porogramme taiwanensis. Illustrations of these two novel species and updated keys to Megasporia and Porogramme genera are provided.
The polypores with shallow pores from tropical Asia and America are studied. Our molecular phylogeny based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), the large subunit nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (nLSU), the translation elongation factor 1-α gene (TEF1), and the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB1) demonstrates six clades are formed among Porogramme and related genera. Two new genera, Cyanoporus and Pseudogrammothele , are established, and the six clades represent Porogramme , Cyanoporus , Grammothele, Epithele, Theleporus , and Pseudogrammothele , respectively. The molecular clock analyses estimate the divergence times of the six clades based on a dataset (ITS + LSU + TEF1 + RPB1 + RPB2), and we recognize the mean stem ages of the six genera are earlier than 50 Mya. Three new species in Porogramme were morphologically and phylogenetically confirmed, and they are described as P. austroasiana , P. cylindrica , and P. yunnanensis . Phylogenetic analysis shows that type species of Tinctoporellus and Porogramme are nested in the same clade, and Tinctoporellus is treated as a synonym of Porogramme. Based on our phylogeny, twelve new combinations are proposed, and the differences between the new species and similar or related species are discussed.

All the species are described based on the Chinese collections. Keys to genera of Polyporaceae occurring in China and keys to species of each genus are provided. This monograph provides a revised classification of Polyporaceae in China according to the modern taxonomy. The phylogeny of Polyporaceae from China are reconstructed based on DNA sequences of multiple loci including the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions, the large subunit nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (nLSU), the small subunit nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (nSSU), the small subunit mitochondrial rRNA gene sequences (mtSSU), the translation elongation factor 1-α gene (TEF1), the β-tubulin gene (TBB1), the RNA polymerase II largest subunit (RPB1) and second largest subunit (RPB2) genes. In addition, full morphological descriptions, illustrations, color photographs, taxonomic notes, ecology and all the available sequences of Polyporaceae species found from China are provided.
