1 INTRODUCTION During the investigation on wood-inhabiting fungi in China, two species of the Hymenochaetaceae were found: Fomitiporia texana (Murrill) Nuss and Inonotus ochroporus (Van der Byl) Pegler. Because they were not recorded in the Chinese fungal flora (Dai, 1999; Dai et al., 2001; Dai & Niemel?, 2006; Nu?ez & Ryvarden, 2000; Ryvarden, 2005), and their illustrated descriptions are given according to our collections.
