Extensive surveys on wood-rotting fungi were recently carried out in Hainan Province,
southern China. Around 2500 specimens of poroid wood-inhabiting fungi were col-
lected during ten eld trips, and 235 polypores were identied. Four species, Gram-
mothelopsis asiatica Y.C. Dai & B.K. Cui, Inonotus latemarginatus Y.C. Dai, Peren-
niporia hattorii Y.C. Dai & B.K. Cui and Wrightoporia austrosinensis Y.C. Dai, are
described and illustrated as new. Of the 235 species, 99 were found from the province
for the rst time.
Introduction
Hainan Province, located between 18°10´–
20°10´N and 108°37´–111°05´E, is an island in
southern China. It has both lowland area in the
northeast and mountainous terrain in the cen-
tral and southwestern regions, and the highest
altitude is 1867 m a.s.l. in the central area. The
annual mean temperature is 19.7 °C, and the
annual precipitation is 2650 mm. Most parts of
the island have a subtropical to tropical vegeta-
tion. The plant ora is well known, and 3324 seed
plants, belonging to 1237 genera and 206 fami-
lies, are reported (Wu 1994). However, the fungal
ora is poorly known; 305 agarics were recorded
previously from the province (Bi et al. 1997), and
136 polypores were found mostly during more
or less recent inventories (Zhao 1989, Zhao &
Zhang 1992, Dai et al. 2004, 2009a, 2009b, Yuan
& Dai 2008, Xiong & Dai 2008, Yu & Dai 2009,
Zhou et al. 2009, Cui et al. 2010, 2011a, 2011b,
Dai 2010). Considering the abundance of woody
species in the study area, the polypore ora is far
from completely known.
Several mycological investigations deal-
ing with many new species from Hainan were
published recently (Zhang et al. 2008a, 2008b,
2009, Ma et al. 2008a, 2008b). The present
paper belongs to a series of studies devoted to
the fungal diversity of the Hainan Province.
By support from the National Natural Science
Foundation of China and the Ministry Science
and Technology of China, ten eld investiga-
tions on wood-decaying fungi were made in the
Hainan Province during 2002–2009, and around
2500 specimens of poroid wood-inhabiting fungi
220 Dai et al. ANN. BOT. FENNICI Vol. 48
were collected from 25 localities (Fig. 1). 235
polypores were identied after laboratory analy-
sis, including four new species, and the present
paper is a summary of these inventories.
Material and methods
The present study is based mostly on materials
collected by the authors, and the studied speci-
mens are deposited in the herbaria of the Beijing
Forestry University (BJFC) and the Institute of
Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of
Sciences (IFP). A few specimens previously col-
lected from the province and deposited in the
herbarium of the Institute of Microbiology, the
Chinese Academy of Sciences (HMAS), were
also studied. All the materials were examined
under the microscope Nikon 80i. The draw-
ings were made with the aid of a drawing tube.
Microscopic features, measurements, and draw-
ings were made from slide preparations stained
with Cotton Blue and Melzer’s reagent. Spores
were measured from sections cut from the
tubes; in presenting spore size data 5% of the
measurements were excluded from each end of
the range, and these are shown in parentheses.
The abbreviations include IKI (Melzer’s rea-
gent, with IKI– = inamyloid), KOH (5% potas-
sium hydroxide), and CB (Cotton Blue; CB+ =
cyanophilous; CB(+) = weakly cyanophilous;
CB– = acyanophilous). Additional abbreviations
include L (mean spore length; arithmetic aver-
age of all spores), W (mean spore width; arith-
metic average of all spores), Q (variation in
the L/W ratios between the specimens studied),
and n (number of spores measured from a given
number of specimens). The special color terms
follow Petersen (1996).

A total of ve species in Grammothelopsis
have been reported, four of them, G. bambusi-
cola, G. incrustata, G. neotropica and G. puig-
garii, were found in Central and South America
(David & Rajchenberg 1985, Rajchenberg &
Wright 1987, Ryvarden & de Meijer 2002, Rob-
ledo & Ryvarden 2007), and G. macrospora
was recorded in tropical Africa (Ryvarden &
Johansen 1980). Grammothelopsis asiatica rep-
resents the rst record of the genus in Asia.
Grammothelopsis asiatica is similar to G.
bambusicola, which also was found on bamboo
(Ryvarden & de Meijer 2002). The type mate-
rial of G. bambusicola was studied, its skel-
etal hyphae and spores are strongly dextrinoid,
and it has dendrohyphidia at dissepiment edge.
In addition, its basidiospores are broadly ellip-
soid, strongly cyanophilous, (11–)11–13.5(–15)
¥ (7–)7.8–9(–10) µm, L = 12.56 µm, W = 8.32
µm, Q = 1.51 (n = 30/1). In contrast, G. asiatica
has indextrinoid skeletals and spores, dendro-
hyphidia are absent at dissepiment edges, and the
spores are ellipsoid to oblong ellipsoid, weakly
cyanophilous.
Grammothelopsis incrustata and G. neotrop-
ica have indextrinoid basidiospores, but both
have distinctly larger basidiospores (16–22 ¥
6–8 µm and 18–20 ¥ 7–8 µm, Robledo & Ryvar-
den 2007). Grammothelopsis macrospora differs
from G. asiatica by having large pores (1–2
per mm), abundant dendrohyphidia, broadly
ellipsoid and strongly dextrinoid basidiospores
(15–20 ¥ 7.5–11 µm; Robledo & Ryvarden
2007). Grammothelopsis puiggarii is distin-
guished from G. asiatica by larger pores (1–2
per mm), broadly ellipsoid and strongly dextri-
noid basidiospores (17–20 ¥ 10–12 µm; Robledo
& Ryvarden 2007).

eTymology: latemarginatus (Lat.), referring to the wide
sterile margin.
FruiTbody. Basidiocarps annual, pileate,
single, soft corky and without odour or taste
when fresh, becoming corky to brittle and very
light when dry. Pileus applanate, semicircular,
projecting up to 8 cm long, 10 cm wide, and 1
cm thick at base; margin obtuse. Pileal surface
matted-tomentose to velutinate, indistinctly con-
centrically zonate, fuscous to brick from base
toward to margin when fresh, becoming fus-
cous and shrunken when dry; margin curry-
yellow when fresh, becoming date-brown when
dry. Pore surface curry-yellow to buff-yellowish
from base towards margin when fresh, becom-
ing snuff-brown when bruised, cinnamon-buff
when dry, sterile margin distinct, up to 5 mm
wide; pores round, 4–6 per mm; dissepiments
thin, matted, slightly lacerate. Context soft and
spongy when fresh, becoming brittle to brous,
shrunken and yellowish brown when dry, up to
5 mm thick, upper layer with a distinct fuscous
crust; tube layer concolorous to context, tubes
hard corky to brittle, up to 5 mm long.

itic; all septa without clamp connections, IKI–,
CB–; tissue darkening but otherwise unchanged
in KOH.
conTexT. Generative hyphae hyaline to yel-
lowish brown, thin- to slightly thick-walled with
a wide lumen, more or less straight, occasionally
branched, 4–8 µm in diam, hyphae at upper crust

nated, 4–6 µm in diam. Hyphoid setae absent.
Tubes. Generative hyphae hyaline to yel-
lowish, thin- to fairly thick-walled with a wide
lumen, straight, rarely branched, more or less
subparallel along the tubes, 3–5 µm in diam.

Hyphoid setae occasionally present, conspicu-
ous, thick-walled with a wide to narrow lumen,
nonseptate, tapering to a point, more or less
parallel along the tubes, up to 200 um long,
8–15 µm in diam in widest part (n = 10/1).
Hymenial setae very rarely present, ventricose to
hooked, 16–18 ¥ 6–9 µm. Cystidia and cystidi-
oles absent; basidia barrel-shaped, 10–12 ¥ 7–9
µm, and basidioles similar to basidia.
Spores. Basidiospores subglobose, pale yel-
lowish, fairly thick-walled, smooth, IKI–, CB(+),
(7–)7.1– 8.7(–9.3) ¥ (5.9–)6.2–7.8(–8.8) µm, L =
7.85 µm, W = 7.05 µm, Q = 1.11 (n = 32/1).
Inonotus latemarginatus is similar to I. quer-
custris, which was originally described from
Louisiana (Blackwell & Gilbertson 1985), and
later found in Argentina (Urcelay & Rajchen-
berg 1999). However, I. quercustris differs from
I. latemarginatus by ungulate basidiocarps (20
¥ 16 ¥ 10 cm), larger pores (3–5 per mm in
USA, 2 per mm in Argentina), abundant hyphoid
setae in trama, distinctly longer basidia (18–23 ¥

9–11 µm), and especially ellipsoid basidiospores
(9–10 ¥ 6–8 µm in USA, 8–10 ¥ 6–7 µm in
Argentina).
Inonotus hemmesii, I. ochroporus and I.
rodwayi are pileate species with broadly ellip-
soid to subglobose basidiospores and presence
of hyphoid setae in tube trama, so they may
be confused with I. latemarginatus. However,
I. hemmesii has ungulate basidiocarps (30 ¥ 20
¥ 15 cm), its hyphoid setae are narrower (7–10
µm wide), and its basidiospores are ellipsoid to
ovoid (7–9 ¥ 5.5–7 µm; Gilbertson & Ryvarden
2002). Inonotus ochroporus has ungulate basidi-
ocarps (40 ¥ 30 ¥ 30 cm) with duplex context,
and its basidiospores are smaller (5.8–7 ¥ 4.9–6.2
µm; Cui et al. 2007). Inonotus rodwayi has larger
pores (2–4 per mm), its basidiospores are ellipsoid
and narrower (7–8.5 ¥ 5.2–6.5 µm; Dai & Wu
2002), and its hyphoid setae project into tubes.

Perenniporia hattorii is characterized by an
annual growth habit, amyloid and cyanophilous
skeletal hyphae, ellipsoid, truncate and amyloid
basidiospores.
Perenniporia narymica is a common species
in the northern hemisphere (Gilbertson & Ryvar-
den 1987, Ryvarden & Gilbertson 1994, Núñez
& Ryvarden 2001). It also has an annual growth
habit, cream to pale yellowish pores, amyloid
skeletal hyphae, so it may be confused with P.
hattorii. However, P. narymica has acyanophil-
ous skeletal hyphae, smaller and non truncate,
inamyloid basidiospores (4.3–5.5 ¥ 3–3.6 µm;
Dai et al. 2002), and the hyphae dissolve in KOH.

basal clamp connection and four sterigmata,
8.5–10 ¥ 2.9–3.5 µm; basidioles in shape similar
to basidia, but slightly smaller.
spores. Basidiospores ellipsoid, hyaline,
thin-walled, echinulate, amyloid, CB–, (2.9–)3–
3.2(–3.7) ¥ 2–2.4(–2.5) µm, L = 3.11 µm, W =
2.2 µm, Q = 1.41 (n = 35/1).
Wrightoporia subrutilans and W. austrosisn-
ensis have similar basidiospores, but the former
has smaller pores (4–5 per mm), strongly dextri-
noid skeletals, and lack of cystidia (Gilbertson &
Ryvarden 1987). In the macro-morphology, W.
austrosinensis resembles W. lenta because of the
white and tough basidiocarps. However, W. lenta
has distinctly larger basidiospores (5.3–7 ¥ 4.8–
5.8 µm, measured from Dai 1506) and strongly
dextrinoid skeletals.
Wrightoporia straminea and W. tropicalis
both have thick-walled cystidia. The former spe-
cies is distinguished from W. austrosisnensis
by resupinate to effused-reexed basidiocarps
with grayish orange pore surface, smaller pores
(6–8 per mm), and lack of gloeocystidia (Hat-
tori 2008). Wrightoporia tropicalis differs from
W. austrosisnensis by perennial and woody hard
basidiocarps, smaller pores (6–8 per mm), and
dextrinoid skeletals (Cui & Dai 2006).

... Habitat: Solitary Notes: Ganoderma calidophilum is a species originally described from Hainan Province, China, by Zhao [119]. Several reports have confirmed that this fungus is mentioned in Hainan Province polypore diversity checklists [13,61,120,121]. This fungus is distinctive in these forms, featuring a laccate pileus with broadly ellipsoid basidiospores with double walls, and it is widely found across subtropical and tropical Asia [108,119,122]. ...
... In China, the first-reported G. lucidum was illustrated based on collections from Guizhou Province [124]. Then, Teng [131] reported more collections from different regions of China, and many subsequent collections have been reported [4,13,47,121,132]. Recently, this fungus has been reported to be distributed worldwide based on gross similarity of features, e.g., in Europe [105], Asia [13,133], America [134,135], and Africa [112]. ...
... Of distinctive note are its context color, basidiospore characteristics, and cuticular cells [154]. Wang and Wu [154] reported that the original Chinese G. hoehnelianum was an earlier name for G. shangsiense, and this fungus was also recorded as G. shangsiense in China's Hainan Province [30,91,120,121]. Our G. hoehnelianum is first recorded from Myanmar, and its description is consistent with the descriptions provided by Wang and Wu [154]. ...

The cosmopolitan fungal genus Ganoderma is an important pathogen on arboreal plant hosts, particularly in tropical and temperate regions. It has long been used as a traditional medicine because of its medicinal properties and chemical constituents. In this study, Ganoderma collections were made in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), encompassing tropical parts of Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and temperate areas in Yunnan Province, China. The specimens used in this study are described based on micro-macro-characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS, LSU, TEF1�, and RPB2 sequence data. In this comprehensive study, we report 22 Ganoderma species from the GMS, namely, G. adspersum, G. applanatum, G. australe, G. calidophilum, G. ellipsoideum, G. flexipes, G. gibbosum, G. heohnelianum, G. hochiminhense, G. leucocontextum, G. lucidum, G. multiplicatum, G. multipileum, G. myanmarense, G. orbiforme, G. philippii, G. resinaceum, G. sichuanense, G. sinense, G. subresinosum, G. williamsianum, and G. tsugae. Some of these species were reported in more than one country within the GMS. Of these 22 species, 12 were collected from Yunnan Province, China; three were collected from Laos; three species, two new records, and one new species were collected from Myanmar; 15 species and four new records were collected from Thailand, and one new species was collected from Vietnam. Comprehensive descriptions, color photographs of macro and micro-characteristics, the distribution of Ganoderma within the GMS, as well as a phylogenetic tree showing the placement of all reported Ganoderma from the GMS are provided.

Two new polypores, Inonotus canaricola sp. nov. and Skeletocutis substellae sp. nov., are described. Both of them were found in Hainan, tropical China. I. canaricola is distinct from other species in the genus by bearing a black cuticle at the upper surface, presence of hyphoid setae in the trama and hooked hymenial setae, and having yellowish brown and subglobose to globose basidiospores. S. substellae is very similar to S. stellae but differs from the latter by swollen skeletal hyphae in potassium hytrochloride (KOH) and smaller basidiospores. In addition, Polyporus rhododendri is renamed as P. taibaiensis, because the previous name was illegitimate. A new combination, Phellinus yunnanensis, is proposed.
... The diversity of wood-inhabiting polypores reported here is very low compared to other regions where the diversity is well explored (Lindblad 2001, Cui & Dai 2007, Robledo & Rajchenberg 2007, Dai et al. 2011, Dai 2012, Niemelä 2013, Ryvarden & Melo 2014, Kunttu et al. 2015, Jang et al. 2016, Ginns 2017, Bernicchia & Gorjón 2020, Gafforov et al. 2020. This low diversity in Benin is partly because this study only focused on basidiomycetes and did not take into account corticoid and ascomycetous woodinhabiting fungi such Xylariales. ...

Wood-inhabiting fungi (WIF), such as polypores, are extremely species-rich and play vital roles in the functioning of forest ecosystems as decomposers. Despite the importance of polypores, our knowledge of the diversity and distribution of these fungi is still poor in general and especially for West Africa. To advance our knowledge we here summarise results from field collections between 2017 and 2021 and present (i) a taxonomic overview, (ii) phylogenetic placements and (iii) an illustrated catalogue of wood-inhabiting polypore fungi with colour pictures. During the field sampling campaigns, we collected 647 specimens. Based on morphological characteristics and molecular barcode data, 76 polypore species belonging to six orders, 15 families and 39 genera were identified. Of the 76 species, 30 are new to the West Africa, 69 new to Benin, and two new combinations Fuscoporia beninensis and Megasporia minuta are proposed. With this summary, we provide new data for further research.
... By contrast, wood-decaying Basidiomycota in tropical China are well studied, which has facilitated a better understanding of global Basidiomycota species diversity and systematics [62][63][64][65][66][67]. Nonetheless, the study of habitat properties and potential lifestyles of woody-based microfungal species is especially important to understanding their functional aspects. ...

While surveying the mycobiomes of dead woody litter in Yunnan Province, China, numerous isolates with affinity to Pleosporales (Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota) were recovered. The present work characterizes two species associated with dead woody twigs found in terrestrial habitats in the Kunming area of Yunnan. The novel taxa were recognized based on a polyphasic approach, including morphological examination and multiple gene phylogenetic analyses (non-translated loci and protein-coding regions). Neokalmusia jonahhulmei sp. nov. is introduced in Didymosphaeriaceae (Pleosporales) as a woody-based saprobic ascomycete that possesses multiloculate ascostromata immersed under a black clypeus-like structure, and three-septate, brown, fusiform, guttulate ascospores. Thyridaria jonahhulmei (Thyridariaceae) is introduced with teleomorphic and anamorphic (coelomycetous) characteristics. The teleomorph has the following characteristics: globose to subglobose ascomata with an ostiolum, a pruinose layer of yellow to reddish- or orange-brown material appearing around the top of the ostiolar necks, and brown, ellipsoid to fusoid, two-to-three-septate, euseptate, rough-walled ascospores; the anamorph features pycnidial conidiomata, phialidic, ampulliform to doliiform, conidiogenous cells, and brown, guttulate, ellipsoidal, aseptate conidia.

Mycobonia and Pseudofavolus (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) are polyporoid genera with tropical and subtropical distribution. Both genera are morphologically similar in presenting flabelliform to conchate subsessile basidiomata, with a dimitic hyphal system, consisting of clamped generative hyphae and skeleto-binding hyphae that produce large basidiospores with smooth, thin walls. However, while Pseudofavolus species present a poroid hymenophore, in Mycobonia it is stereoid with hyphal pegs that resemble thin teeth. Mycobonia and Pseudofavolus have a controversial taxonomy, and the phylogenetic relationships between their species have yet to be assessed. For this reason, we performed molecular phylogenetic analyses on specimens of Mycobonia and Pseudofavolus from both the Neotropics and Asia, using internal transcribed spacers (ITS), the large subunit of nuclear rDNA (nc LSU rDNA), and also the genes encoding the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II ( RPB2 ). Furthermore, in order to develop an evolutionary analysis of the hymenophore configuration, we performed stochastic character mapping of ancestral states for the hymenophore type presented in Polyporus s.l. Our study revealed that Pseudofavolus is an artificial group and its species actually nest in a clade within Mycobonia . Therefore, in order to establish a monophyletic group, based upon priority of publication, we re-circunscribed Mycobonia to encompass both stereoid and poroid hymenophore species. Two new combinations are presented from the Neotropics: Mycobonia cucullata and M. miquelii . A new species from tropical Asia, M. yuchengii , is also described. We presente a summary of stochastic mapping of ancestral states estimates of hymenophore type in Polyporus s.l . The ancestral state for Mycobonia clade is estimated to have angular pores.

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.

Based on samples from 37 countries of five continents, seven new genera, Meganotus, Neophellinus, Nothonotus, Pachynotus, Perenninotus, Pseudophylloporia and Rigidonotus, are introduced, 37 new species, Coltricia tibetica, Fomitiporella crassa, F. queenslandica, Fomitiporia eucalypti, F. gatesii, F. ovoidospora, Fulvifomes azonatus, F. caligoporus, F. costaricense, F. floridanus, F. jouzaii, F. nakasoneae, F. subindicus, Fuscoporia sinuosa, F. submurina, Inonotus subradiatus, I. vietnamensis, Neomensularia castanopsidis, Pachynotus punctatus, Phellinus cuspidatus, P. subellipsoideus, Phylloporia minutissima, P. tabernaemontanae, Porodaedalea occidentiamericana, P. orientoamericana, P. qilianensis, P. schrenkianae, Pseudophylloporia australiana, Sanghuangporus australianus, S. lagerstroemiae, Tropicoporus angustisulcatus, T. hainanicus, T. lineatus, T. minus, T. ravidus, T. substratificans and T. tenuis, are described, and 108 new combinations are proposed. In addition, one illegitimate name and two invalid names are renamed, and Coltricia and Coltriciella were synonymized. The taxonomic relevance and limits of the new taxa are discussed. Photos and illustrations for 37 new species are presented, and a full description for each new species is given. Eventually, this study recognizes 672 species in 34 genera and provides a modern treatment of the poroid Hymenochaetaceae in the world. A key to the accepted poroid genera of Hymenochaetaceae is provided, and identification keys to the accepted species of 32 poroid genera worldwide are given. A synopsis description of each species is included in these keys.

The species of Abundisporus Ryvarden and Perenniporia Murrill (Aphyllophorales, Basidiomycota) from China are listed. A key was prepared for the 24 species so far recorded in the two genera from the country, including condensed descriptions and spore dimensions. Two new species are described and illustrated: Abundisporus quercicola Y.C.Dai and Perenniporia piceicola Y.C.Dai. The genera Haploporus Singer and Pachykytospora Kotl. & Pouzar are considered as synonymous, being closely related to Perenniporia but differing from it by ornamented spores. The following new combinations are proposed: Haploporus alabamae (Berk. & Cooke) Y.C.Dai & Niemelä, Haploporus papyraceus (Schwein.) Y.C.Dai & Niemelä, Haploporus subtrameteus (Pilát) Y.C.Dai & Niemelä, Haploporus tuberculosus (Fr.) Niemelä & Y.C.Dai, and Perenniporia subadusta (Z.S.Bi & G.Y.Zheng) Y.C.Dai.
