Additions to the knowledge of Ganodermataceae in brazilian Cerrado). As a cosmopolitan family, Ganodermataceae has as distinctive characteristic the presence of double-walled basidiospore: the inner wall thick and ornamented, and the outer wall smooth. Even with the increasing interest in this family, the species are still poorly known in different regions of the brazilian territory, such as in the central Brazil. This study presents new distribution remarks of Ganodermataceae species in different sites of the biome Cerrado, in the Midwest region. We found 23 specimens from five species which are distributed into three genera, Amauroderma, Foraminispora and Ganoderma. From those species, one is a new record for the Cerrado (A. exile), four are new for the State of Goiás A. exile, F. rugosa, G. multiplicatum and G. stipitatum and one for the Distrito Federal (G. stipitatum). Amauroderma aurantiacum is rediscovered in Goiás after 88 years. This study contributes to improving the knowledge regarding the geographic distribution of these taxa in Brazil.

Introduction
Proposed in 1948, the family Ganodermataceae
(Donk) Donk has approximately 220 species described,
distributed into seven genera (Amauroderma Murrill,
Foraminispora Robledo, Costa-Rezende & Drechsler-

Rezende et al. 2017). Considered cosmopolitan, the
family has as a distinct characteristic the presence of
double-walled basidiospores, with the inner wall thick
and ornamented and the outer smooth, distinguishing
it from other polyporoid groups. The basidiospore
can be found in globular and ellipsoid shapes
with pigmentation (Gilbertson & Ryvarden 1986,

species (Ryvarden 2004, Gugliotta et al. 2011).
Group of crucial importance in maintaining the
trophic balance, Ganodermataceae species play a
key role in nutrient cycling of ecosystems, causing
white rot in woody tissues (Ryvarden 2004). The
family comprises species of recognized economic
and medicinal value, and some sources of bioactive
compounds are widely studied for biotechnological
2 Hoehnea 47: e852019, 2020
purposes (Zjawiony 2004, Tseng et al. 
et al. 2016).
Species of this family, except the genus Haddowia,
are widely distributed in the tropics with records in
several brazilian ecosystems (Gibertoni & Cavalcanti
2003, Ryvarden 2004, Silveira et al. 2008, Baltazar
& Gibertoni 2009, Campacci & Gugliotta 2009,
Drechsler-Santos et al. 2009, Gomes-Silva & Gibertoni
2009, Gibertoni & Drechsler-Santos 2010, Gugliotta
et al. 2010, Gomes-Silva et al. 2011, Costa-Rezende
et al. 2016, Bononi et al. 2017). However, knowledge
about this family in the Cerrado biome is restricted
to records of 17 species, with a predominance of the
genera Amauroderma and Ganoderma (Gibertoni &
Drechsler-Santos 2010, Abrahão et al. 2012, Maia
et al. 2015, Costa-Rezende et al. 2016, Bononi
et al. 2017). The present study presents new species
occurrences of the family Ganodermataceae for the
brazilian Cerrado and Midwest region.
Material and methods
The specimens studied were collected in Cerrado
areas between 2005 and 2018, usually located
in conservation units (UC) in the State of Goiás:

... The known biodiversity of PESCAN comprises more than 800 species, including plants, vertebrate animals, insects, amoeboid protists (Myxomycetes), and fungi (Alvarenga & Xavier-Santos 2017, Moreira & al. 2019, SEMAD 2021. Among these groups of organisms, the fungi are one of the poorer known with only 10 species of macrofungi (Alvarenga & al. 2015, Calaça & al. 2015, Calaça & Xavier-Santos 2016, Alvarenga & Xavier-Santos 2017, Leonardo-Silva & al. 2020, which supports the need for more sampling efforts in the region. ...

This study was based on specimens collected on 15 field expeditions between 2007 and 2013 in the Parque Estadual da Serra de Caldas Novas (PESCAN), the first conservation unit decreed by the government of the State of Goiás and one of the most representative protected areas of the Brazilian Savanna (Cerrado biome). A list of 51 species composes this inventory, six of them reported for the first time from Cerrado Biome (Flabellophora parva, Hymenochaete microcycla, Navisporus sulcatus, Stiptophyllum erubescens, Trechispora mellina, and Truncospora ohiensis), five from the Midwest region of Brazil and two from Goiás. These results increase sampling efforts and knowledge about these fungi in this little-studied region of Brazil.
... It possesses a rich biological diversity, some of it known and much as yet unknown, including fungi. The Cerrado is among the Brazilian biomes with the lowest known species and currently, 22 ganodermatoid fungi are known from the Cerrado (Maia et al. 2015;Costa-Rezende et al. 2016, 2020Leonardo-Silva et al. 2020b). Therefore, comprehensive studies on the species diversity, taxonomy, and phylogeny of the ganodermatoid fungi are needed, mainly in areas that remain poorly studied, to clarify the relationship and position of many species within the family. ...
Article
Based on morphological and phylogenetic evidence, a new species of ganodermatoid fungi is recorded and described from the Brazilian Cerrado. After the species was placed in Furtadoa, this genus name was declared an illegitimate homonym by the Index Fungorum and MycoBank databases, according to Art. 53.1 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, thus requiring the need to replace Furtadoa. Therefore, Furtadomyces is proposed as the new name for the genus. The new species Furtadomyces sumptuosus is characterized by the combination of large basidiomata, multiple pilei, presence of radial striae on the pilear surface, an involute margin exposing the pore surface, and large, subglobose to ellipsoid (7.2–) 9.1–11.2 (–13.3) × (6.6–) 7.1–8.8 (–10.4) μm, double-walled basidiospores. It is closely related to Furtadoa biseptata, evidenced morphologically by the presence of two different septa in the generative hyphae of the context. Phylogeny, morphological description, illustrations, and comments for F. sumptuosus are presented, as well as two new combinations in Furtadomyces: F. biseptatus and F. brasiliensis.
... They are so named because the hymenophore is made up of fused vertical tubes, called pores (Kirk et al. 2008). There are about 175 species of poroid fungi listed for the Brazilian Savanna (Gibertoni and Drechsler-Santos 2010;Abrahão et al. 2012;Costa-Rezende et al. 2015;Maia et al. 2015;Costa-Rezende et al. 2016;Bononi et al. 2017;Leonardo-Silva et al. 2020); of these, only nine have been recorced occuring in the state of Goiás. This present study presents the first taxonomic inventory of poroid fungi from Silvania's FLONA, and includes ecological aspects of the group. ...

We present a taxonomic inventory, including ecological aspects, of poroid fungi from the Floresta Nacional de Silvânia, a conservation unit representative of the Brazilian Savanna (Cerrado) biome. Basidioma collection was sampled randomly (active search), between 2005 to 2012, considering the conservation unit area, and occurred along or outside pre-existing trails, mainly within forest formations. Totally we found 27 species, distributed into 22 genera, 9 families and 3 order. The α diversity (Hꞌ) was 2.86; the maximum diversity estimated (H max) was 3.29 and the Pielou equability (Jꞌ) was 0.87. These data, added to species accumulation curve, indicate that the number of species of poroid fungi found has not yet exhausted the real diversity of the area and it may increase with the increase in collections (sampling effort). About 37% of the species were found in both living and decaying wood; 33% exclusively in dead and 22% exclusively in alive wood. Among these, 44% were classified as rare in the area, 33% occasional, 15% common and 7% abundant. The most frequent species were those that occurred in both living and decaying wood, while the rare ones occurred exclusively in one type of wood (living or dead). The present work is one of the pioneers in the study of poroid fungi in Central Brazil, increasing the knowledge of this biodiversity in the Brazilian Savanna, which can be used as support to update the management plan of the conservation unit.

Corticioid and poroid fungi are widely known for wood decomposition which confers an important ecological role and biotechnological properties upon these species. Although being one of the most studied groups of fungi worldwide, data on diversity and geographic occurrence patterns in Brazil are insufficient, especially in poorly studied areas, including the Cerrado biome. Here we present an overview of the scientific literature concerning the corticioid and poroid fungi from Cerrado, along with a list of species found in the biome so far. The historic research at Cerrado comprised 47 articles published between 1876 and 2021, of which 55% were published in the last decade. We found 387 records and 223 species, while 94 species are new additions to the checklists published in the last decade. Six of the listed species are endemic to Cerrado. Furthermore, 29 species are only known from Cerrado in Brazil, although they occur in other regions of the world. The main research groups focused on these fungi in Brazil have already published at least one article with samples from Cerrado. Therefore, intensifying studies throughout Cerrado could help in a better understanding of its Funga, its evolutionary relationship, and its threatens status.

Ganodermataceae is a remarkable group of polypore fungi, mainly characterized by particular doublewalled basidiospores with a coloured endosporium ornamented with columns or crests, and a hyaline smooth exosporium. In order to establish an integrative morphological and molecular phylogenetic approach to clarify relationship of Neotropical Amauroderma s.lat. within the Ganodermataceae family, morphological analyses, including scanning electron microscopy, as well as a molecular phylogenetic approach based on one (ITS) and four loci (ITS-5.8S, LSU, TEF-1α and RPB1), were carried out. Ultrastructural analyses raised up a new character for Ganodermataceae systematics, i.e., the presence of perforation in the exosporium with holes that are connected with hollow columns of the endosporium. This character is considered as a synapomorphy in Foraminispora, a new genus proposed here to accommodate Porothelium rugosum (≡ Amauroderma sprucei). Furtadoa is proposed to accommodate species with monomitic context: F. biseptata, F. brasiliensis and F. corneri. Molecular phylogenetic analyses confirm that both genera grouped as strongly supported distinct lineages out of the Amauroderma s.str. clade.

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, in the municipality of Corguinho. Of the species identified, 18 are new citations for Brazil, as they are not included in the List of Brazilian Flora (fungi), and 36 are recorded for the first time for [the State of] Mato Grosso do Sul. As a total, 62 species were collected in nine excursions during 2014 and 2015. Out of this total, 15 species are deemed edible, four are toxic, ten are medicinal, two are used in bioremediation processes, and one is bioluminescent, according to the literature.

Ganoderma is a cosmopolitan genus of fungi with species distributed in temperate and tropical regions. Species of Ganoderma in living Leguminosae were observed in Park de la Salud in Pance, Cali, Colombia and we record G. multiplicatum for the first time from Colombia. A distribution map of this genus in the Neotropical region is presented.

During the survey of wood-inhabiting fungi in Cuba, several specimens of an Amauroderma species with a brightly colored pore surface, viz. bright orange, were collected, and subsequently identified to A. dubiopansum. However, the status of the latter name, particularly its taxonomic relationship with A. sprucei remained uncertain. In order to confirm the identification, the type specimens of A. dubiopansum and A. sprucei were studied and compared to our various collections. We have concluded that A. sprucei and A. dubiopansum are synonyms, the former epithet having priority.

During a polypore survey in the Cerrado (Mato Grosso state, Brazil), Amauroderma specimens were collected and some of them deserved special taxonomic attention due to their intermediate morphology between A. calcigenum and A. partitum. A comparative study of the types and reference material, as well as phylogenetic analysis, led us to conclude that these speci- mens represent an undescribed species, presented here as Amauroderma calcitum. In addition A. brasiliense is presented as a new record for the Brazilian Cerrado. Illustrations, taxonomic analyses and a discussion are presented for each taxon, and a key to the Amauroderma species from Brazil is provided. A phylogenetic discussion about the genus is also presented.

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.

The chemical investigation on the fruiting bodies of Amauroderma subresinosum led to the isolation of 10 compounds including 2 new ones named amaurosubresin (1) and erythro(23,24)-5α,6α-epoxyergosta-8-ene-7-one-3β,23-diol (2). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy as well as MS. The bioassay of inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of two new isolates exhibited definite inhibitory activity.
