An unrecorded Ceriporiopsis species was collected at Mt. Gariwang, Gangwon Province, in 2008. Based on morphological characteristics, such as a fully resupinate basidiocarp, a reddish white to pinkish poroid hymenophore and a monomitic hyphal system with clamp connections, the species was identified as Ceriporiopsis resinascens. This is the first report of Ceriporiopsis resinascens in Korea. We...

A new basidiomycete genus, Rhizochaete (Phanerochaetaceae, Polyporales), is described. Rhizochaete is characterized by a smooth to tuberculate, pellicular hymenophore and hyphal cords that turn red or violet in potassium hydroxide, monomitic hyphal system of simple or nodose septate hyphae, cystidia, and small, cylindrical to subglobose basidiospores. It morphologically is most similar to Phane...

white-rot basidiomycetes are one of the most important lignolytic microorganisms. these fungi have been reported to secrete three main classes of lignin degrading enzymes: lignin peroxidases (lips), manganese peroxidases (mnps) and laccases. in this study, for the first time the lignin degrading capability of two plant pathogens i.e. hyphodermella rosae and h. corrugata was evaluated using both...

Poria carnegieae was described from Arizona growing on the woody ribs of saguaro cactus, Carnegiea gigantea, and transferred to Ceriporiopsis due morphological evidence. Posterior phylogenetic studies showed a relationship with Bjerkandera. New sequence data morphologic evidence are presented support transfer

We explored whether DNA-phylogeny-based and morphology-based genus concepts can be reconciled in the basidiomycete family Phanerochaetaceae. Our results show that macromorphology of fruiting bodies and hymenophore construction do not reflect monophyletic groups. However, by integrating micromorphology and re-defining genera, harmonization of DNA phylogeny and morphological genus concepts is pos...

Polyporales is strongly supported as a clade of Agaricomycetes, but the lack of a consensus higher-level classification within the group is a barrier to further taxonomic revision. We amplified nrLSU, nrITS, and rpb1 genes across the Polyporales, with a special focus on the latter. We combined the new sequences with molecular data generated during the PolyPEET project and performed Maximum Like...
