Species diversity in the Antrodia crassa group (Polyporales, Basidiomycota)

Antrodia is a polyphyletic genus, comprising brown-rot polypores with annual or short-lived perennial resupinate, dimitic basidiocarps. Here we focus on species that are closely related to Antrodia crassa, and investigate their phylogeny and species delimitation using geographic, ecological, morphological and molecular data (ITS and LSU rDNA, tef1). Phylogenetic analyses distinguished four clades within the monophyletic group of eleven conifer-inhabiting species (five described herein): (1)A. crassa s. str. (boreal Eurasia), Antrodia cincta sp. nova (North America) and Antrodia cretacea sp. nova (holarctic), all three being characterized by inamyloid skeletal hyphae that dissolve quickly in KOH solution; (2) Antrodia ignobilis sp. nova, Antrodia sitchensis and Antrodia sordida from North America, and Antrodia piceata sp. nova (previously considered conspecific with A. sitchensis) from Eurasia, possessing amyloid skeletal hyphae; (3) Antrodia ladiana sp. nova from the southern part of the USA, Antrodia pinea from East Asia, and Antrodia ferox - so far known from subtropical North America, but here reported also from Eurasia. These three species have inamyloid hyphae and narrow basidiospores; (4) the North American Antrodia pini-cubensis, sharing similar morphological characters with A. pinea, forming a separate clade. The habitat data indicate that several species are threatened by intensive forestry.

Studies in the Bark-Dwelling Species of Hymenochaete (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) Reveal Three New Species

Viacheslav Spirin; Kadri Runnel; Kadri Põldmaa

Abstract Three new species of Hymenochaete from Russian Far East are described based on morphological and ITS rDNA data. Hymenochaete adhaerens sp. nov. is a resupinate species closely related to H. macrospora, from which it differs in having longer basidiospores and setae. The basidiocarps of H. cupulata sp. nov. are effused-reflexed, resembling those of the European H. ulmicola, from which it differs in having setae inflated at the basal part and shorter basidiospores. Both H. adhaerens and H. cupulata inhabit bark of living elm trees (Ulmus spp.). H. manshurica sp. nov. is resupinate and morphologically similar to the North American H. corticolor, from which it differs in having narrower setae and basidiospores; it has been collected from bark of living Tilia manshurica.
