A new poroid wood-inhabiting fungal genus, Elaphroporia, typified by E. ailaoshanensissp. nov., is proposed based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. The genus is characterised by an annual growth habit, resupinate basidiocarps, becoming rigid and light-weight up on drying, a monomitic hyphal system with thick-walled generative hyphae bearing both clamp connection...

During surveys in the Brazilian Amazon, Atlantic Forest and Caatinga, several species of poroid Hymenochaetaceae were collected. Of collected specimens, ITS LSU sequences generated phylogenetic analyses performed. From morphological inferences, Sclerotus Xavier de Lima, gen. nov. is described based on collections Phellinus extensus, while Inonotus parvisetus V.R.T. Oliveira, Lima & Gibertoni, s...

Abstract Investigations of biologically active substances sourced from xylotrophic macromycetes have shown their fundamental and practical significance. These studies promoted the development biotechnologies by obtaining valuable products mycelial biomass cultivation liquid using these fungal species in “white chemistry”. Research into environmentally safe biological methods stimulating growth ...

For long time mushrooms presented interest for consumption as food, as traditional medicine or in bioremediation, due to their nutritional, antioxidant, antimicrobial and therapeutic values. The valorisation of indigenous species of mushrooms both for research or practical applications is a goal for researchers all over the world and requires well characterized collections. Despite the importan...
