Abstract

During macrofungal surveys in various tropical Sal-dominated (Shorea robusta) forests of West Bengal, we collected specimens of Phylloporus. After careful literature consultation, coupled with morphological examinations and molecular phylogenetic analyses with two genes, the species was found to be conspecific with Phylloporus gajari, which was originally described from tropical Sal forests of Bangladesh. We report P. gajari as a new record from India with detailed morphological description, illustration, 2-locus phylogenetic analyses, and extensive comparisons with related species.
