Abstract

Gloeocystidiellum rajchenbergii, Hypochnicium patagonicum, Pteridomyces valdivianus, and Stereum greslebinii are described as new species from the Chilean Patagonia. An annotated checklist of corticioid fungi from Chile, listing 94 species with notes on distribution and ecology, scheduled for regular update, is available from http://corticioids.webs.com/checklists.htm.
