New Species and Combinations in the Cerrenaceae (Polyporales, Basidiomycota)

The classification and taxonomy of the Polyporales have undergone tremendous change made significant progress in last ten years. A case point is Cerrenaceae that was created just five years earlier. This one smaller, lesser-known families with recognized genera well-defined supported by phylogenetic analyses but difficult to characterize morphology. Some species display a range basidiome habit, hymenophore configuration, hyphal system overlap from other Agaricales. In this study, we clarify morphological features distinguish conducting taxonomic studies Irpiciporus, Pseudolagarobasidium, Pseudospongipellis, Radulodon presenting keys accepted species. Generic descriptions for Irpiciporus are revised. Two new taxa described illustrated, namely, rajchenbergii Brazil Pseudospongipellis tomsovskyi southwestern United States. addition, four combinations proposed — africanus, I. decolorans, revolubilis, Pseudolagarobasidium cirrhatinum. acacia, India, placed synonymy under acaciicola, noharae, Japan, confirmed be synonym Lopharia mirabilis.
