ABSTRACT
Ceriporia spissa (Schwein. ex Fr.) Rajchenb., a temperate to tropical species, is recorded for the
first time in Brazil, collected in Rio Grande do Sul State. It presents simple-septate hyphae, allantoid
spores and a bright orange-red color, which is rare among polypore species. A key for the so far known
Brazilian species of the genus Ceriporia is presented.
Key words: Hapalopilaceae, Polyporales, new record, xylophilous fungi.
RESUMO
Ceriporia spissa (Schwein. ex Fr.) Rachjenb. (Basidiomycota): uma espécie de fungo com poros
citada pela primeira vez no Brasil
São registrados para o Brasil os primeiros espécimes de Ceriporia spissa (Schwein. ex Fr.)
Rajchenb., uma espécie de distribuição em regiões temperadas e tropicais, a qual foi coletada no estado
do Rio Grande do Sul. As principais características da espécie são: hifas com septo simples, esporos
alantóides e uma coloração laranja-avermelhado brilhante, esta última incomum entre as espécies de
políporos. É incluída uma chave para as espécies de Ceriporia conhecidas para o Brasil.
Palavras-chave: Hapalopilaceae, Polyporales, nova ocorrência, fungo xilófilo.
INTRODUCTION
Ceriporia Donk is an accepted polypore genus
(RYVARDEN 1973, 1991) containing about 22 and
29 species, which has been included in the family
Hapalopilaceae Jülich (Polyporales) (KIRK et al.,
2001; SUHARA et al., 2003). In recent works on
Brazilian polypores only four species of Ceriporia
were found (LOGUERCIO-LEITE; GERBER, 1997;
LOGUERCIO-LEITE; WRIGHT, 1991; NIETIEDT;
GUERRERO, 2000; RAJCHENBERG; DE MEIJER,
1990; SILVEIRA; GUERRERO, 1991).
Several polypore studies have been made in Brazil
along the last centuries by ancient or modern authors,
but the continental dimensions of the Brazilian
territory and the diversity of tropical forest woody
hosts allow to claim that it still remains a mycologicaly
understudied country. More studies on the distribution
and taxonomy of the polypore mycota will generate a
new amount of interesting data. We present a polypore
species newly recorded in Brazil in order to contribute
to its knowledge and distribution.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Basidiomes were collected in Santa Maria, RS
and Parque Estadual de Itapuã, Viamão, RS; in
both locations the predominant vegetation being the

Remarks: Ceriporia spissa, recorded for the first
time in Brazil, is a remarkable species due to its beauty
and very intense reddish orange coloration, uncommon
among polypores. Some collections, however, can
present pale colors (pink to pale red). The pseudo-
parenchymatic trama with amorphous colored crystals
is a diagnostic microscopic character.
Ceriporia purpurea (Fr.) Donk presents a colored
purplish basidiome, but it differs by larger dimensions
of allantoid spores and pores (species keyed below).
Species of Pycnoporus P. Karst., a widely distributed
poroid genus, also have a brilliant red-orange color and
white wood-rotting ability, but they are quite different

from C. spissa by producing subcylindrical to
cylindrical spores in a pileate basidiome with a trimitic
hyphal system. Species of the genus Pycnoporellus
Murrill are similar to C. spissa in their red-
orange hymenophore color and monomitic hyphal
system with simple-septate generative hyphae
(GILBERTSON; RYVARDEN, 1987); those species,
however, produce brown wood-rot and cylindrical to
oblong-ellipsoid spores, further they are distributed in
the North Hemisphere. Brilliant colors also can be
observed in basidiomes of a small species group of
Tyromyces P. Karst., however, they presents clamped
generative hyphae in basidiomes usually pileate
(RYVARDEN, 1987).
