Abstract

Eleven taxa of Lopharia s.s., Dendrodontia, Dentocorticium and Fuscocerrena in Polyporales are included in the phylogenetic analyses of nuc rDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS), D1-D2 domains of nuc 28S rDNA (28S) and RNA polymerase II second-largest subunit (rpb2) sequences. New species Lopharia resupinata and L. sinensis are described and illustrated. Lopharia resupinata, from south-eastern China, is closely related to L. ayresii, and L. sinensis, from northern China, is related to L. cinerascens and L. mirabilis. Lopharia mirabilis specimens from temperate to tropical areas with varied hymenophore configurations all cluster together in a fully supported clade. Dendrodontia and Fuscocerrena are shown to be synonyms of Dentocorticium, which is phylogenetically related to Lopharia. Four new combinations, Dentocorticium bicolor, D. hyphopaxillosum, D. portoricense and D. taiwanianum, are proposed. Revised generic descriptions of Lopharia and Dentocorticium are provided with keys to the six accepted species in each genus. A list of all names in Lopharia and Dentocorticium are presented with their current taxonomic status. Type specimens of Dentocorticium brasiliense and D. irregulare were examined and determined to be later synonyms of Punctularia subhepatica and Diplomitoporus daedaleiformis, respectively.

Introduction

The genus Lopharia s.s., typified by L. lirellosa Kalchbr. & MacOwan (= Radulum mirabile Berk. & Broome), is characterised by a dimitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, large basidia and basidiospores and large, encrusted, hyaline, thick-walled cystidia (Hjortstam and Ryvarden 1990, Boidin and Gilles 2002, Bernicchia and Gorjón 2010). Of 35 taxa placed in Lopharia, Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1990) accepted only L. cinerascens (Schwein.) G. Cunn. and L. mirabilis (Berk. & Broome) Pat. and Boidin and Gilles (2002) additionally accepted L. pseudocinerascens Boidin & Gilles. Welden (1975, 2010) adopted a broad interpretation of Lopharia that included species of Porostereum Pilát. A few phylogenetic studies that have included Lopharia s.s. and Porostereum spadiceum (Pers.) Hjortstam & Ryvarden (generic type) showed that they are distantly related (Ko et al. 2001, Yoon et al. 2003, Wu et al. 2007, Jang et al. 2016). Both genera are included in the Polyporales with Lopharia in the Polyporaceae and Porostereum in the Phanerochaetaceae (Justo et al. 2017).

Dentocorticium (Parmasto) M.J. Larsen & Gilb. was segregated from Laeticorticium Donk to accommodate L. ussuricum Parmasto (generic type) and Hydnum sulphurellum Peck (Larsen and Gilbertson 1974) because they lack probasidia. Subsequently, nine species were described or transferred to the genus (Larsen and Gilbertson 1977, Ryvarden 1978, Domański 1988, Boidin et al. 1996, Boidin and Gilles 1998, Duhem and Michel 2009).

Dendrodontia Hjortstam & Ryvarden (generic type Grandinia bicolor P.H.B. Talbot) is similar to Dentocorticium in possessing tuberculate to odontoid hymenophore, dendrohyphidia and thin-walled smooth basidiospores, but differs by its dimitic hyphal system with brown skeletal hyphae (Hjortstam and Ryvarden 1980, Boidin and Gilles 1998). The monotypic genus Fuscocerrena Ryvarden was erected for Polyporus portoricensis Spreng. ex Fr. This taxon is characterised by dark brown, effused, effused-reflexed to pileate basidiocarps with a poroid to spinose hymenophore, a dimitic hyphal system with brown skeletal hyphae and dendrohyphidia (Ryvarden 1982). Except for the variable hymenophore configuration and greenish-yellow hymenial surface, F. portoricensis (Spreng. ex Fr.) Ryvarden is similar to many species of Dendrodontia and Dentocorticium at the microscopic level.

Morphologically, Lopharia s.s. is distinct from Dentocorticium and Dendrodontia but are phylogenetically closely related as shown in phylogenetic studies based on two to six taxa (Yoon et al. 2003, Wu et al. 2007, Justo and Hibbett 2011, 2017, Jang et al. 2016). In this study, eleven taxa of Lopharia s.s., Dentocorticium, Dendrodontia and Fuscocerrena from North America and East Asia were included in phylogenetic analyses of a concatenated 3-gene dataset of ITS, 28S and rpb2 sequences.

Materials and methods

Morphological studies. Voucher specimens are deposited in the herbarium of Beijing Forestry University (BJFC), the National Museum of Natural Science in Taiwan (TNM) and the Centre for Forest Mycology Research (CFMR). Samples for microscopic examination were mounted in 0.2 % cotton blue in lactic acid, 1 % phloxine and Melzer’s reagent. The following abbreviations are used: L = mean spore length, W = mean spore width, Q = L/W ratio, n (a/b) = number of spores (a) measured from given number of specimens (b). Colour codes and names follow Kornerup and Wanscher (1978).

DNA extraction and sequencing. A CTAB plant genome rapid extraction kit-DN14 (Aidlab Biotechnologies Co. Ltd, Beijing) was employed for DNA extraction and PCR amplification from dried specimens. The ITS, 28S and rpb2 gene regions were amplified with the primer pairs ITS5 and ITS4 (White et al. 1990), LR0R and LR7 (http://www.biology.duke.edu/fungi/mycolab/primers.htm) and rpb2-f5F and rpb2-7.1R (Liu et al. 1999, Matheny et al. 2007), respectively. The PCR procedures for ITS and 28S followed Liu et al. (2017), while the procedure for rpb2 was the same as Justo and Hibbett (2011). DNA sequencing was performed at Beijing Genomics Institute and the sequences are deposited in GenBank (Table 1).

Phylogenetic analyses. The molecular phylogeny used a combined dataset of ITS, 28S and rpb2 sequences. Justo and Hibbett (2011) was consulted for taxon sampling and outgroup selection. The sequences were aligned using the MAFFT v.6 (Katoh and Toh 2008, http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/server/). Alignments were optimised manually in BioEdit 7.0.5.3 (Hall 1999) and deposited at TreeBase (http://treebase.org/treebase-web/home.html, submission ID: 21717).

Maximum Likelihood (ML), Maximum Parsimony (MP) and Bayesian Inference (BI) analyses were performed by using RAxML 7.2.6 (Stamatakis 2006), PAUP* 4.0b10 (Swofford 2002) and MrBayes 3.1.2 (Ronquist and Huelsenbeck 2003), respectively. In ML analysis, statistical support values were obtained from rapid bootstrapping of 1000 replicates using default settings for other parameters. In MP analysis, gaps in the alignments were treated as missing data. Trees were generated using 100 replicates of random stepwise addition of sequence and tree-bisection reconnection (TBR) branch-swapping algorithm with all characters given equal weight. Branch supports for all parsimony analyses were estimated by performing 1000 bootstrap replicates (Felsenstein 1985) with a heuristic search of 10 random-addition replicates for each bootstrap replicate. For BI, best models of evolution were estimated by using MrModeltest 2.2 (Nylander 2004) and the Bayesian posterior probabilities (BPP) were determined by Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling in MrBayes 3.1.2. Four simultaneous Markov chains were run for two million generations and trees were sampled every 100th generation. The first quarter of the trees, which represented the burn-in phase of the analyses, were discarded and the remaining trees were used to calculate posterior probabilities in the majority rule consensus tree.

Phylogeny results

The ITS-28S-rpb2 sequences dataset contained 54 ITS, 55 nuc 28S and 40 rpb2 sequences from 56 samples representing 38 ingroup and 2 outgroup taxa (Table 1). Twenty-three ITS, 25 nuc 28S and 11 rpb2 sequences were generated for this study (Table 1). The dataset had an aligned length of 2806 characters, of which 836 were parsimony informative. MP analysis yielded four equally parsimonious trees (TL = 5240, CI = 0.323, RI = 0.594, RC = 0.192, HI = 0.677). The best model estimated and applied in the Bayesian analysis was GTR+I+G. MP and BI analyses resulted in almost the same tree topologies as that of ML analysis, which is similar to that of Justo and Hibbett (2011). Only the ML tree is shown in Fig. 1 with maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony bootstrap values ≥ 50 % and BPP ≥ 0.95 labelled along the branches. In the tree, the Dentocorticium clade sensu Justo and Hibbett (2011) was recovered and strongly supported. The five species of Lopharia s.s. and FP-105043 (as Lopharia sp.) are in a strongly supported lineage with two subclades – (1) Lopharia sinensis, L. mirabilis and L. cinerascens and (2) L. resupinata and L. ayresii. The Dentocorticium species are in a clade with five distinct and well-supported lineages representing the species D. ussuricum, D. sulphurellum, D. bicolor, D. taiwanianum and D. portoricense.

Lopharia resupinata S.H. He, S.L. Liu & Y.C. Dai, sp. nov.

MycoBank No: 823071
Figs 2A–B, 3

Diagnosis

Distinguished from other Lopharia species by its resupinate basidiocarps, a densely compact texture, a monomitic hyphal system and small basidiospores 7–9(–10) × 4–5 µm.

Holotype

CHINA. Jiangxi Province: Anyuan County, Sanbaishan Forest Park, on fallen angiosperm branch, 15 Aug. 2016, He 4401 (holotype, BJFC 023842!).

Etymology

“resupinata” (Lat.) refers to the resupinate basidiocarps.

Fruiting body

Annual, resupinate, adnate, ceraceous, hygrophanous, not separable from the substrate when fresh, becoming crustaceous, brittle and easily detached from substrate upon drying, first as small patches, later confluent up to 20 cm long, 2.5 cm wide, up to 400 µm thick. Hymenophore smooth, under a lens pilose from projecting cystidia, pale orange (6A3), orange grey (6B2) to greyish-orange (6B3) when fresh, becoming brownish-orange [6C(2–4)] to light brown [6D(4–5)] upon drying, uncracked; margin abrupt, concolorous when fresh, reflexed and incurved upon drying, abhymenial surface white (6A1).

Microscopic structures

Hyphal system monomitic, generative hyphae with clamp connections. Subiculum thin, with numerous small crystals; hyphae hyaline, thin- to slightly thick-walled, moderately septate and branched, interwoven, 2–3.5 µm in diam. Subhymenium thickening, up to 300 µm thick; hyphae hyaline, slightly thick-walled, vertically arranged, densely agglutinated, 2–4 µm in diam. Lamprocystidia abundant, arising from subhymenium, subulate, heavily encrusted with crystals, distinctly thick-walled, embedded in subhymenium or exerted, 80–150 × 10–20 µm. Basidia clavate, with a basal clamp connection and four sterigmata, 50–65 × 8–10 µm; basidioles dominating in hymenium, similar to basidia but smaller. Basidiospores ellipsoid, hyaline, thin-walled, smooth, containing a large guttule, IKI–, CB–, 7–9(–10) × 4–5 µm, L = 7.9 µm, W = 4.4 µm, Q = 1.81 (n = 30/1).

Remarks

Lopharia resupinata, like L. ayresii, has a resupinate habit, a monomitic hyphal system and a densely compact texture. Lopharia ayresii (Fig. 2E), however, has larger basidiospores (11.2 ± 0.7 × 6.4 ± 0.4 µm, from type, Boidin and Gilles 1991). In Fig. 1, L. resupinata and L. ayresii cluster together. Lopharia cinerascens and L. mirabilis differ from L. resupinata by having effused-reflexed to pileate basidiocarps, a dimitic hyphal system and larger basidiospores (Hjortstam and Ryvarden 1990, Boidin and Gilles 2002). Lopharia resupinata has a thickening subhymenium with embedded lamprocystidia, characters that are also found in species of Phlebiopsis Jülich.

Remarks

Lopharia sinensis belongs to the L. cinerascens clade (Fig. 1). It differs from L. mirabilis by its smooth hymenophore surface and north temperate distribution and from L. cinerascens by its ellipsoid basidiospores and long, projecting cystidia (Hjortstam and Ryvarden 1990, Dai 2002). Lopharia pseudocinerascens from Africa also belongs to the L. cinerascens group and can be distinguished from L. sinensis by narrower basidiospores (8–14 × 4.5–6.5 µm, Boidin and Gilles 2002).

Six species of Lopharia, L. ayresii, L. cinerascens, L. resupinata, L. mirabilis, L. sinensis and Lopharia sp. (FP-105043) are included in a fully supported monophyletic clade (Fig. 1). They all develop the large encrusted cystidia, the large basidia (> 50 µm long) and the relatively large basidiospores (> 8 µm long and 4 µm wide) that characterise the genus. Lopharia mirabilis, the generic type, is a tropical species possessing a tuberculate, odontoid, irpicoid to semiporoid hymenophore (Hjortstam and Ryvarden 1990, Dai 2002). The authors’ phylogenetic analyses show that collections from temperate to tropical areas in China, with smooth to semiporoid hymenophores, cluster together, thus extending the geographical range and hymenophore variability for L. mirabilis (Figs 1, 5). Thus, specimens from Taiwan, previously identified as L. cinerascens (Boidin and Gilles 2002, Wu 2010) because of their smooth hymenophore, are in fact L. mirabilis.

Lopharia cinerascens is a cosmopolitan species in temperate to subtropical areas (Hjortstam and Ryvarden 1990, Boidin and Gilles 2002). These phylogenetic analyses suggest that it is a species complex (Fig. 1). Two specimens (He 2188 and He 2228, Fig. 2F) from Wisconsin in northern United States are probably L. cinerascens s.s. for it is near the type locality of Pennsylvania. They are phylogenetically distinct from FP-105043 (listed as L. cinerascens in Justo and Hibbett, 2011) which was collected in Mississippi, southern United States.

Lopharia ayresii nests within the Lopharia clade and forms with L. resupinata a strongly supported lineage sister to the L. mirabilis group (Fig. 1). These two species have resupinate basidiocarps, a monomitic hyphal system, a thin to indistinct subiculum and a thickened subhymenium. Otherwise, they fit well with other Lopharia species in developing large basidia and basidiospores and encrusted cystidia. The addition of these species requires that the genus description of Lopharia be modified to include monomitic taxa.

It is still premature to make a conclusion about the distribution of Lopharia species with present data. Three species, L. pseudocinerascens, L. sinensis and L. resupinata, have been found from the type localities only (Boidin and Gilles 2002, present study). Lopharia mirabilis is reported from tropical Africa to temperate to tropical East Asia (Hjortstam and Ryvarden 1990, present study). Lopharia ayresii seems to be pantropical and is reported from Mauritius, Réunion (Boidin and Gilles 1991), southern China (Wu 2008), Taiwan (Wu 2010), Okinawa (Maekawa et al. 2003) and South America (Hjortstam et al. 2005, Hjortstam and Ryvarden 2008).

List of names in Lopharia and their current taxonomic status

The list by species epithet is obtained from Index Fungorum (http://www.indexfungorum.org, 25 Sep. 2017). If a name is accepted, a direct statement is made with supporting evidence cited. Note that Miettinen et al. (2017: 26) consider Hjortstamia Boidin & Gilles to be a synonym of Phlebiopsis based on molecular and morphological criteria. Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1990) compiled the first nomenclature of Lopharia species.

abietina (Pers.) Z.S. Bi & G.Y. Zheng, [Macrofungus flora of the mountainous district of North Guangdong]: 62 (1990). Accepted as Veluticeps abietina (Pers.) Hjortstam & Tellería. Supported by ITS (Yang et al. 2016) and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses (Garcia-Sandoval et al. 2011).

albida Rick, Brotéria, Ci. Nat. 7: 13 (1938). An unidentifiable species of Hyphodontia as reported by Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1990: 59) and Baltazar et al. (2016: 119) for the type is sterile.

americana Rick, Egatea 13: 435 (1928). Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1990: 59) reported that the type is lost.

amethystea (Hjortstam & Ryvarden) A.L. Welden, Flora Neotropica Monograph 106: 70 (2010). = Hjortstamia amethystea (Hjortstam & Ryvarden) Boidin & Gilles. Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1990: 29) observed that the species is close to Porostereum (Phlebiopsis) crassum (Lév.) Hjortstam & Ryvarden.

areolata G. Cunn., Bull. New Zealand Dept. Sci. Industr. Res. 145: 331 (1963). = Phanerochaete areolata (G.H. Cunn.) Hjortstam & Ryvarden. Welden (1975: 547) noted that the type was related to the genus Phanerochaete. Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1990: 59) also examined the type and pointed out similarities to Phanerochaete hiulca (Burt) Welden.

ayresii (Berk. ex Cooke) Hjortstam, Mycotaxon 54: 188 (1995). Accepted in Lopharia and supported by phylogenetic analyses (fig. 1 herein). The type (Kew 35450, Mauritius, P.B. Ayres) was examined.

bambusae Rick, Iheringia 7: 199 (1960). Accepted as a synonym of Fomitiporia bambusarum (Rick) Campos-Santana & Decock. Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1990: 59) and Baltazar et al. (2016: 119) examined the type and agreed that it belongs to the Phellinus (Fomitiporia) punctatus species complex.

cheesmanii (Wakef.) G. Cunn., Bull. New Zealand Dept. Sci. Industr. Res. 145: 195 (1963). Accepted as a synonym of Laurilia sulcata (Burt) Pouzar as proposed by Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1990: 59) who examined the type at Kew. In addition, Boidin (1969: 190) observed finely echinulate, amyloid basidiospores in the type specimen.

cinerascens (Schwein.) G. Cunn., Trans. Roy. Soc. New Zealand 83: 622 (1956). Accepted in Lopharia and supported by phylogenetic analyses (fig. 1 herein).

crassa (Lév.) Boidin, Bull. Trimestriel Soc. Mycol. France 74: 479 (1959). Accepted as Phlebiopsis crassa (Lév.) Floudas & Hibbett and supported by multi-gene phylogenetic analyses; see (Floudas and Hibbett 2015: figs 1, 3) and (Miettinen et al. 2016: fig. 2 part 2).

cystidiosa (Rehill & B.K. Bakshi) Boidin, Rev. Mycol. (Paris) 34: 191 (1969). = Porostereum cystidiosum (Rehill & B.K. Bakshi) Hjortstam & Ryvarden.

dregeana (Berk.) P.H.B Talbot, Bothalia 6: 57 (1951). = Australohydnum dregeanum (Berk.) Hjortstam & Ryvarden.

fulva (Lév.) Boidin, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon 28: 213 (1959). Accepted as Porostereum fulvum (Lév.) Boidin & Gilles. Although considered a synonym of P. spadiceum by Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1990: 61), Boidin and Gilles (2002: 109) showed by crossing experiments and differences in basidiospore shape and size that P. fulvum was distinct from P. spadiceum. Welden (1975) also noted basidiospore size differences. In addition, they have distinct distributions — P. fulvum is reported from Africa, Reunion, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand and Siberia, whereas P. spadiceum is known from Europe, Armenia and Morocco (Boidin and Gilles 2002, Talbot 1954, Welden 1975).

heterospora (Burt) D.A. Reid, Rev. Mycol. (Paris) 33: 251 (1969). Accepted as a synonym of Dendrophora albobadia (Schwein.) Chamuris. Welden (1975: 547), Boidin and Lanquetin (1977: 120) and Chamuris (1987) examined the type specimen, Matthews 27 and agreed that it is conspecific with D. albobadia.

involuta (Klotzsch) G. Cunn., Bull. New Zealand Dept. Sci. Industr. Res. 145: 194 (1963). = Podoscyha involuta (Klotzsch) Imazeki. In a phylogenetic study of stipitate stereoid fungi, Sjökvist et al. (2012) showed that Podoscypha was paraphyletic with P. involuta and two other species in a lineage separate from the larger group of Podoscypha species.

javanica Henn. & E. Nyman, Monsunia 1: 144 (1900) [1899]. A possible synonym of L. mirabilis (Talbot 1954: 342; Boidin 1959: 207) or L. cinerascens (Welden 1975: 536). A portion of the type may be at NY (no. 00775916).

lilacina (Berk. & Broome) A.L. Welden, Flora Neotropica Monograph 106: 71 (2010). = Porostereum lilacinum (Berk. & Broome) Hjortstam & Ryvarden.

lirellosa Kalchbr. & MacOwan, in Kalchbrenner, Grevillea 10 (54): 58 (1881). Accepted as a synonym of L. mirabilis as proposed by Talbot (1951: 56; 1954: 340). Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1990: 62) and Boidin and Gilles (2002: 94) follow Talbot’s synonymy.

mexicana A.L. Welden, Tulane Stud. Zool. Bot. 17: 19 (1971). = Hjortstamia mexicana (A.L. Welden) Boidin & Gilles.

mirabilis (Berk. & Broome) Pat., Bull. Soc. Mycol. France 11: 14 (1895). Type species of Lopharia.

novae-granata A.L. Welden, Mycologia 67: 540 (1975). = Hjortstamia novae-granata (Welden) Hjortstam & Ryvarden.

ochracea G. Cunn., Bull. New Zealand Dept. Sci. Industr. Res. 145: 196 (1963). Accepted as Amylostereum areolatum (Fr.) Boidin based on basidiospore size (Thomsen, 1998) and its occurrence in New Zealand (Talbot 1964, Gaut 1969). Boidin and Lanquetin (1984) identified two paratype specimens as a species of Amylostereum. Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1990: 62) reported that the type specimen was morphologically indistinguishable from A. chailletii (Fr.) Boidin.

papyracea (Bres.) D.A. Reid, Kew Bull. 12: 131 (1957). Accepted as Phlebiopsis friesii (Lév.) Spirin & Miettinen. Originally published as L. papyracea (Jungh.) D.A. Reid. Lloydella papyracea Bres. 1910 is the replacement name for Thelephora papyracea Jungh. which is a later homonym of T. papyracea Schrader ex J.F. Gmelin 1792.

papyrina (Mont.) Boidin, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon 28: 210 (1959). Accepted as Phlebiopsis papyrina (Mont.) Miettinen & Spirin.

perplexa D.A. Reid, Kew Bull. 17: 297 (1963). = Hjortstamia perplexum (D.A. Reid) Boidin & Gilles.

phellodendri (Pilát) Boidin, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon 28: 207 (1959). = Porostereum phellodendri Pilát, type of Porostereum. A possible synonym of P. fulva (Boidin and Gilles, 2002: 108) or P. spadiceum (Hjortstam & Ryvarden, 1990: 62). See discussion under L. fulva.

pilosiuscula (Hjortstam & Ryvarden) A.L. Welden, Fl. Neotrop. Monogr. 106: 73 (2010). Placement is uncertain for it is not typical of Porostereum (Hjortstam and Ryvarden 1990: 49) nor of Lopharia s.s. (Welden 2010: 73).

pseudocinerascens Boidin & Gilles, Bull. Trimestriel Soc. Mycol. France 118: 96 (2002). Accepted in Lopharia.

rhodocarpa (Rehill & B.K. Bakshi) S.S. Rattan, Biblioth. Mycol. 60: 172 (1977). Accepted as Peniophora rhodocarpa Rehill & B.K. Bakshi. The authors follow Hjortstam & Ryvarden (1990: 62) who examined the isotype at Kew.

rimosissima Rick in Rambo, Iheringia, Ser. Bot. 7: 199 (1960). The protologue does not provide enough information to identify this species but it may be a Xylodon species. A line after the protologue states that it appears to be identical to Odontia rimosissima Peck [= Xylodon rimosissimus (Peck) Hjortstam & Ryvarden].

rimosissima (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) A.L. Welden, Mycologia 67: 544 (1975). = Hjortstamia rimosissima Boidin & Gilles. Known only from the type from Nicaragua collected on dead cane. Although the type lacks basidiospores, it is otherwise similar to P. crassa (Burt 1925: 342; Welden 1975: 544, 2010: 73).

rugulosa (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Hjortstam, Mycotaxon 54: 188. 1995. Of uncertain generic disposition because of conflicting observations of the type specimen (Ginns 1971: 230, Hjortstam 1990: 420, Ryvarden 2010: 115).

sharpiana A.L. Welden, Tulane Stud. Zool. Bot. 17: 18 (1971). = Porostereum sharpianum (A.L. Welden) Hjortstam & Ryvarden. Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1990: 51) made the transfer after examining the type specimen. Welden (2010: 74), however, believed it is better placed in Lopharia s.s.

spadicea (Pers.) Boidin, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon 28: 211 (1959). Accepted as Porostereum spadiceum (Pers.) Hjortstam & Ryvarden. See L. fulva for additional information.

umbrinoalutacea (Wakef.) A.L. Welden, Mycologia 67: 546 (1975). Accepted as Porostereum umbrinoalutacea (Wakef.) Hjortstam & Ryvarden. Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1990: 63) made the transfer to Porostereum after examining the type specimen. Welden (1975: 539) noted that P. umbrinoalutacea was closely related to P. fulvum and P. spadiceum.

vinosa (Berk.) G. Cunn., Trans. Roy. Soc. New Zealand 83: 625 (1956). Accepted as a synonym of Phlebiopsis crassa. Lentz (1955: 20), (Cunningham 1956: 624, fig. 2) and Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1990: 63) examined the type of Corticium vinosum Berk. They all agree that C. vinosum is conspecific with Thelephora crassa Lév. Note that some authors have mistakenly used Thelephora vinosa Berk. instead of Corticium vinosum Berk. as the proper basionym; see May et al. (2003: 295) for a summary.

Taxonomy of Dentocorticium, Dendrodontia and Fuscocerrena species

Dendrodontia bicolor (generic type, Fig. 6A), Fuscocerrena portoricensis (generic type, Fig. 6B), Dentocorticium sulphurellum, Dentocorticium taiwanianum (Fig. 6C–D) and Dentocorticium ussuricum (Parmasto) M.J. Larsen & Gilb. (generic type, Fig. 6E–F) cluster in a strongly supported clade (Fig. 1). The phylogenetic analyses demonstrate that the three genera are closely related and support merging the genera together. Amongst the three generic names, Dentocorticium (1974) has priority over Dendrodontia (1980) and Fuscocerrena (1982). Thus, the latter two genera are treated as synonyms of Dentocorticium and four new combinations are proposed. An expanded and more inclusive generic circumscription of Dentocorticium is presented below.

List of names in Dentocorticium and their current taxonomic status

The list by species epithet is obtained from Index Fungorum (http://www.indexfungorum.org, 25 Sep. 2017). If a name is accepted, a direct statement is made with supporting evidence cited.

blastanos Boidin & Gilles, Cryptog. Mycol. 19: 193 (1998). Accepted as Neocampanella blastanos (Boidin & Gilles) Nakasone, Hibbett & Goranova and supported by molecular data (Nakasone et al. 2009: fig. 1).

brasiliense M.J. Larsen & Gilb., Norweg. J. Bot. 24: 117 (1977). Accepted as Punctularia subhepatica (Berk.) Hjortstam. The isotype at CFMR (Brazil, Rio Grande du Sol, ad ligna angiosperma, 1936, Rick) was examined. It has rare basidiospores (6.5–8.7 × 3.2–3.7 µm) and characteristic knobby dendrohyphidia that are brown in the upper portion and hyaline at the base. The holotype at FH is apparently lost.

expallens (Bres.) Domański, Mala Flora Grzybów. Tom I: Basidiomycetes (Podstawczaki), Aphyllophorales (Bezblaszkowce). Corticiaeae, Acanthobasidium – Irpicodon 5: 248 (1988). = Crustomyces expallens (Bres.) Hjortstam. In addition to Corticium, Dentocorticium, and Crustomyces, this species has been transferred to Phlebia and Laeticorticium, but none of these generic placements is satisfactory.

irregulare Ryvarden, Bull. Jardin Bot. Natl. Belg. 48: 84 (1978). Accepted as a synonym of Diplomitoporus daedaleiformis (Henn.) Ryvarden. The holotype of D. irregulare (JR 4316, GENT) and isotype of Poria daedaleiformis (US0239243, BPI) were examined. Basidiospores of D. irregulare were narrower [(2.8–) 3–3.5 µm] than reported by Ryvarden (1978) and similar to those of D. daedaleiformis (Ryvarden 2012: 16). Also in D. irregulare, skeletal hyphae were observed in the ridges and spines and obclavate, subfusiform cystidioles (11.5–21 × 4–5.5 µm) in the hymenium; these were not described earlier. Cystidioles were also observed in the isotype of P. daedaleiformis but no basidiospores. Both species develop elongated pores and ridges, clamped generative, dendrohyphidia and occur in the same geographical area in Africa.

nephrolepidis Boidin & Gilles, Cryptog. Mycol. 19: 193 (1998). Accepted as a synonym of L. cyathae (S. Ito & S. Imai) Hjortstam & Ryvarden as determined by Nakasone (2005) who examined the holotype.

pilatii (Parmasto) Duhem & H. Michel, Cryptog. Mycol. 30: 165 (2009). Accepted as Phlebiopsis pilatii (Parmasto) Spirin & Miettinen based on ITS and 28S sequences analyses (Miettinen et al. 2016: fig. 2 part 2). However, P. pilatii differs from other Phlebiopsis species in the absence of lamprocystidia and presence of dendrohyphidia and microbinding hyphae (Duhem and Michel 2009: figs 7–17).

sasae (Boidin, Cand. & Gilles) Boidin, Lanq. & Duhem, Bulletin de la Société Mycologique de France 112: 116 (1996). Accepted as Leptocorticium sasae (Boidin, Cand. & Gilles) Nakasone based on morphological criteria (Nakasone 2005).

sinapicolor Boidin, Gilles & Duhem, Cryptog. Mycol. 19: 194 (1998). A poorly studied species. Duhem and Michel (2009: 171) cite morphological similarities between this species and P. pilatii.

sulphurellum (Peck) M.J. Larsen & Gilb., Norweg. J. Bot. 21: 226 (1974). Accepted in Dentocorticium as inferred from multi-gene sequences (fig. 1 herein) and morphology.

ussuricum (Parmasto) M.J. Larsen & Gilb., Norweg. J. Bot. 21: 226 (1974). This is the generic type of Dentocorticium.

utribasidiatum Boidin & Gilles, Cryptog. Mycol. 19: 196 (1998). Accepted as Leptocorticium utribasidiatum (Boidin & Gilles) Nakasone based on morphological features and examination of the holotype (Nakasone 2005).
