Four new species of Phylloporia (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) from southeastern Taiwan
2020
Four new species of Phylloporia (Hymenochaetales) are presented based on collections made from subtropical-tropical southeastern Taiwan. They are P. alyxiae, P. mori, P. murrayae, and P. rubiacearum. These four species respectively grow on plant genera Alyxia, Morus, Murraya, and family Rubiaceae. Their status of new species in Phylloporia is supported by a combined survey based on morphological features, host species, geographic distribution, and phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences inferred from a dataset of nuc 28S rDNA. ITS sequence analysis is effective in distinguishing P. alyxiae and P. murrayae, respectively, from the most closely related species. Descriptions, basidiocarp photos, and microscopic illustrations are provided for these new species. So far, 61 species are known in the genus Phylloporia worldwide.
