Ganoderma chalceum and Junghuhnia meridionalis: New records from Brazil
Abstract and Figures
During a survey of the polypore fungi in the Morro Santana, Porto Alegre, in southern Brazil, two species never before recorded for the country were found. Ganoderma chalceum has a pileate basidiome, laccate pileus surface, dimitic hyphal system, and a cuticle composed of clavate and amyloid hyphae. Junghuhnia meridionalis has a resupinate basidiome, dimitic hyphal system, and heavily incrusted clavate cystidia. Both species are compared with related species and illustrations are provided.

... Th e genus comprises 37 legitimate species (http:// www.indexfungorum.org/; Kirk et al. 2008), eight of which were reported in Brazil: Junghuhnia carneola, J. crustacea, J. meridionalis, J. minuta, J. nitida, J. polycystidifera, J. subundata and J. undigera (Baltazar & Gibertoni 2009;Westphalen et al. 2010;Soares et al. 2014a;Gugliotta et al. 2015). ...
... Recently, several studies including new species and new records of polypores in Brazil have been published (Baltazar et al. 2014;Baldoni et al. 2015;Campos-Santana et al. 2014;Motato-Vásquez et al. 2014;2015a;b;Soares et al. 2014b;Westphalen et al. 2014;Pires et al. 2015), but few included species of Junghuhnia (Westphalen et al. 2010;2012). In the current study, we present descriptions of J. semisupiniformis and J. globospora and a key to the accepted species of Junghuhnia reported in Brazil. ...
... Additionally, reports of species of Junghuhnia Corda were surveyed in the databases Specieslink (http://www.splink. org.br/) and Lista de Espécies da Flora do Brasil (http:// floradobrasil.jbrj.gov.br/) and in the literature (Bononi 1992;Almeida-Filho et al. 1993;Sotão et al. 2002;Baltazar & Gibertoni 2009;Gibertoni & Drechsler-Santos 2010;Westphalen et al. 2010;Westphalen et al. 2012;Soares et al. 2014a). ...
Junghuhnia is a cosmopolitan genus of Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota), mostly characterized by having a dimitic hyphal system and encrusted cystidia. The genus comprises 37 legitimate species, eight of which have been reported in Brazil. This study provides updated information about the diversity and distribution of Junghuhnia in Brazil by reporting J. semisupiniformis for the first time from South America, J. globospora from Brazil, J. carneola from northeastern Brazil and the state of Pará, J. nitida from the state of Pernambuco, and J. subundata from the state of Amazonas. Descriptions of J. semisupiniformis and J. globosbora, as well a key to the accepted species of Junghuhnia from Brazil, are provided.
... Our data shows that S. meridionale and J. collabens are not phylogenetically related (Fig. 1) and that the former groups close to the Neotropical species S. neonitidum. Junghuhnia meridionalis was described from the Patagonian Andes forests in southern Argentina and Chile and later registered from Neotropical regions (Westphalen et al. 2010. Unfortunately, the DNA amplification and sequencing of Brazilian specimens was unsuccessful, but we decided to keep the Neotropical specimens under the name S. meridionale and include it in the identification key. ...
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 hymenophore. In the Neotropics, very little is known about the evolutionary relationships of Junghuhnia s.lat. taxa and very few species have been included in molecular studies. In order to test the proper phylogenetic placement of Neotropical species of this group, morphological and molecular analyses were carried out. Specimens were collected in Brazil and used for DNA sequence analyses of the internal transcribed spacer and the large subunit of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene, the translation elongation factor 1-α gene, and the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II gene. Herbarium collections, including type specimens, were studied for morphological comparison and to confirm the identity of collections. The molecular data obtained revealed that the studied species are placed in three different genera. Specimens of Junghuhnia carneola represent two distinct species that group in a lineage within the phlebioid clade, separated from Junghuhnia and Steccherinum, which belong to the residual polyporoid clade. Therefore, the new genus Geesterania is proposed including two species, G. carneola comb. nov. and G. davidii sp. nov. Neotropical specimens identified as Junghuhnia nitida represent a different lineage from the European species and are described as Steccherinum neonitidum sp. nov. In addition, the new combinations Steccherinum meridionale, Steccherinum polycystidiferum and Steccherinum undigerum, as well as the new name Flaviporus tenuis, are proposed.
... Six new species of Amauroderma are described, all of them from the Amazonia dominion, except for A. subsessile, also found in Central America. These species, as well as A. boleticeum and A. elegantissimum, were not registered in the Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest, an area where collecting specimens of Ganodermataceae has been rather intense (Gibertoni et al., 2004;Loguercio-Leite et al. 2005;Torres-Torres et al., 2008Campacci & Gugliotta 2009;Westphalen et al., 2010;Gomes-Silva et al., 2011a;Gugliotta et al., 2011;Campos-Santana & Loguercio-Leite, 2013;Gomes-Silva & Gibertoni, 2012) when compared to the Brazilian Amazonia (Gomes-Silva et al., 2011a, b;Martins-Junior et al., 2011;Torres-Torres et al., 2008. In contrast, only A. oblongisporum, A. picipes and A. renidens seem to be restricted to the Atlantic Rain Forest, suggesting that, besides being underexplored, the Amazonia has higher diversity of species of Amauroderma than the Atlantic Rain Forest. ...
From 2007 to 2014, specimens of Amauroderma were collected mostly in North and Northeast Brazil. Additionally, material deposited in herbaria was reviewed. The analysed specimens represented 20 species, six of them new to science: Amauroderma albostipitatum, A. floriformum, A. laccatostipitatum, A. ovisporum, A. sessile and A. subsessile. Twelve species, three of them new, had their ITS and/or LSU region of the DNA sequenced. According to the results, Amauroderma is not monophyletic; A. partitum and A. schomburgkii are macro-morphologically variable species; the synonym of A. calcigenum with A. partitum is not supported, and the use of macro- and micro-morphological characters is a useful tool to delimit species of the genus.
... This is the first record of G. weberianum in America. Drechsler-Santos et al. 2008; Gerber & Loguercio-Leite 1997; Gomes-Silva et al. 2011; Gottlieb & Wright 1999a; Loguercio-Leite et al. 2005; Patouillard 1889; Steyaert 1962 Steyaert , 1980 Westphalen et al. 2010), they are not included in either key or descriptions because we were unable to examine any material representing them. As a specimen of G. sessile Murrill was found in SP, the species is included in the key but not described; it lacked data and thus we are uncertain whether it was collected in Brazil. ...
Eighteen species of Ganoderma (Basidiomycota, Polyporales, Ganodermataceae) are recorded from Brazil based on specimens deposited at EMBRAPA and SP. Twenty type specimens from Brazil, Belize, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Finland, France, Grenada, Guinea, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, USA, and Venezuela were studied in order to establish the proper identity of specimens. Three species (G. mexicanum, G. perzonatum, G. pulverulentum) are new reports for Brazil, G. weberianum is recorded for the first time for America, and G. mexicanum, G. perturbatum, and G. perzonatum, are recorded for the first time since their original description. All species with laccate pileus (except G. vivianimercedianum) and the non-laccate G. amazonense and G. brownii are described in detail and illustrated.
The genus Junghuhnia is characterized by the dimitic hyphal system, generative hyhae with clamp connections and presence of cystidia, usually large and incrusted. Although there are records of at least ten species of the genus in Brazil, there is no review paper about them. In this study, the occurrence of six species of Junghuhnia were confirmed in Brazil. An identification key, full descriptions, illustrations and a table of comparison between them are presented. Taxa with doubtful occurrence in Brazil are discussed. Junghuhnia subundata is mentioned from this country for the first time.
TB 2012 – Contribution to the knowledge of polypores (Agaricomycetes) from the Atlantic forest and Caatinga, with new records from Brazil. Mycosphere 3(3), 267–280, Doi 10.5943 /mycosphere/3/3/1 The Atlantic Forest is the better known Brazilian biome regarding polypore diversity. Nonetheless, species are still being added to its mycota and it is possible that the knowledge of its whole diversity is far from being achieved. On the other hand Caatinga is one of the lesser known. However, studies in this biome have been undertaken and the knowledge about it increasing. Based in recent surveys in Atlantic Forest and Caatinga remnants in the Brazilian States of Bahia, Pernambuco and Sergipe, and revision of herbaria, twenty polypore species previously unknown for these states were found. Fuscoporia chrysea and Inonotus pseudoglomeratus are new records to Brazil and nine are new to the Northeast Region. Furthermore, four species previously known from Brazil were found for the first time in the Atlantic Forest, viz. Flabellophora parva, F. chrysea, I. pseudoglomeratus and Trametes lactinea, and three in the Caatinga, viz. I. portoricensis, Phylloporia spathulata and Schizopora flavipora. Keys to the main taxa are provided.
Forty-seven species of wood inhabiting Basidiomycetes are reported from the Atlantic Rain Forest of the Parque Estadual da Serra do Tabuleiro, Santa Catarina, Brazil.

N. terrestris is collected for the second time, and N. floccosus is reported as new to Brazil. A world key to the accepted species of Navisporus is provided.
The Ganoderma lucidum complex in tropical America has been studied based on an examination of available types for all laccate Ganoderma species described from tropical America and 13 species are currently accepted. A preliminary key to and descriptions of these species are provided in an attempt to help to sort out the confused taxonomic situation which has prevailed in the genus. Ganoderma concinnum Ryvarden, G. longistipitatum Ryvarden and G. multicornum Ryvarden are described as new. The new combination Ganoderma orbiformum (Fr.) Ryvarden is proposed.
Auriporia brasilica sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on specimens collected from southern Brazil. It is characterized by a dimitic hyphal system, the shape and size of cystidia, small basidiospores and large pores. This is the first report of an Auriporia taxon registered from the tropics.
