Sibipiruna (Cenostigma pluviosum var. pelthophoroides) trees are common in the São Paulo city urban forest, but they may cause accidents when deteriorated by wood-decaying fungi due to trunk rupture and tree fall. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate anatomical, physical, and mechanical changes in sibipiruna wood attacked by Ganoderma australe....

The genus Flaviporus (Polyporales, Steccherinaceae) includes species of polypores with watery and resinous basidiomes that shrink and become very hard upon drying. Recent studies indicated that F. liebmannii, one of the most common species of the genus in the Neotropics, is polyphyletic. In addition, several names have been associated with Flavipor...

Phlebiodontia is proposed as a new genus in the Meruliaceae based on morphological and molecular data. The genus is typified by Phlebiodontia rajchenbergii, a new species proposed for Brazil, and also includes P. acanthocystis (Hawaii) and P. subochracea (Germany), which are new combinations proposed in this study. The species of Phlebiodontia are...

Polypores (Basidiomycota) are of great importance in several forest areas since they are fundamental for wood decomposition and nutrient recycling, which is essential for the functioning of ecosystems. This study assessed the polypore community structure in a restoration area and its use as a parameter to monitor restoration. Our study was carried...

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.

(First record of Myriostoma (Geastraceae, Basidiomycota) in the Parque Estadual das Fontes do Ipiranga (PEFI), São Paulo, São Paulo State, Brazil). Myriostoma is an easily identifiable genus due to its basidiome with multiple stalks and ostioles in the endoperidium. Its occurrence in South America is limited to Brazil and Argentina, but the basidio...

Junghuhnia is a genus of polypores traditionally characterised by a dimitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae and presence of encrusted skeletocystidia. However, recent molecular studies revealed that Junghuhnia is polyphyletic and most of the species cluster with Steccherinum, a morphologically similar genus separated only by a hydnoid...

Lignin degradation is achieved by a specific group of enzymes known as Lignin-Modifying Enzymes (LME) where Manganese Peroxidase (MnP) plays a key role. Classified as extracellular enzymes and produced by white-rot fungi (Basidiomycetes, Agaricomycotina, Polyporales), the MnP2 gene was detected in twelve isolates from Ganoderma australe, G. gibbosu...

In the last decades, several phylogenetic studies have shown that Polyporus is polyphyletic; accordingly, several genera have been newly described or reinstated. Nevertheless, the phylogenetic position of many species in the genus remains highly contentious, particularly those traditionally included in the Polyporus infrageneric group Polyporus s.s...

The fungi diversity in Brazil is not fully known yet, mainly in Serra de Maracaju, which is located in the central portion of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the center-western region of Brazil. Samples were taken from different phytophysiognomies of the Cerrado, the dominating biome of that region, in areas where Cerrado and pasture alternate,...

Wood-inhabiting fungi are noteworthy components of woody ecosystems which are responsible for the decomposition and turnover of wood nutrients. While the diversity and ecology of these fungi in the temperate forests has been relatively well explored, little is known on diversity of these fungi in the arid and semi-arid forest ecosystems. This is th...
