Two new species of hydnoid-fungi from India

چکیده
Two taxa, Hericium yumthangense (Russulales, Agaricomycotina) and Mycoleptodonoides sharmae (Polyporales, Agaricomycotina) are described as new to science from the Shingba Rhododendron sanctuary located in the northern district of Sikkim, India. Macro- and micromorphological characters are described and illustrated for both species, which are compared with allied taxa. ITS rDNA sequences supported H. yumthangense as a rather isolated species within Hericium, the species complexes of which were not resolved due to low interspecific sequence divergence. In the case of M. sharmae, 28S rDNA (D1/D2) data rendered this poorly known genus among well-known taxa of the core-polyporoid clade.

Taxonomy and phylogeny of white-rot polypores: case studies in Hymenochaetales and Polyporales (Basidiomycota)
This thesis deals with taxonomy of certain white-rot polypores placed for the most part in the genera Antrodiella, Cinereomyces, Junghuhnia and Steccherinum. With DNA-based phylogenetic analyses and morphological studies I and my co-authors showed that concepts of those genera and species within them need a major revision. Species of Antrodiella belong to at least 13 different genera, within Po...
متن کاملSpatial distribution of sporocarps of stipitate hydnoid fungi and their belowground mycelium.

Conservation of these fungi is hindered by a lack of understanding of their basic ecology. In particular, a better understanding of their belowground ecology is required. Real-time PCR in conjunction with spatially explicit sampling wa...
