Abstract
Six field surveys were carried out in Zixishan area, Yunnan Province, China during 2016–2021, and 1407 specimens of wood-decaying fungi were collected. The paper summarizes the obtained results on the wood-decaying fungi of this area, consisting of 74 species belonging to 49 genera, 24 families and 7 orders. Polyporales is the dominant order (51.35% of the total species), and Hyphoderma, and Peniophorella are the dominant genera (Each accounted for 6.76% of the total) in this area. Their hosts and substrates were also identified and a checklist of wood-decaying fungi is provided. The taxa were identified by morphology and molecular evidence. The sequences of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) gene region of the studied specimens were generated and the phylogenetic analyses were performed. Five new species were earlier described in Zixishan area viz. Hyphoderma fissuratum C.L. Zhao & X. Ma (2021: 37), H. microporoides C.L. Zhao & Q.X. Guan (2021: 9), H. tenuissimum C.L. Zhao & Q.X. Guan (2021: 153), Hyphodermella zixishanensis C.L. Zhao (2021: 4), and Phanerochaete pruinosa C.L. Zhao & D.Q. Wang (2021: 8). This work aimed to provide an updated checklist of wood-decaying fungi in Zixishan area, Yunnan Province, China, as well as to enrich the knowledge of the fungal diversity in China and worldwide.
