Abstract
The Hymenochaetaceae are basidiomycete, wood-decomposing fungi that are found in different habitats, including the Amazon region, and can be parasitized or live in association with some plant organisms. This study investigated the cultivable fungi associated with the basidiomes of Hymenochaetaceae collected in different areas of the Brazilian Amazon. In all, 107 specimens of Hymenochaetaceae were collected and 203 strains of associated fungi were obtained, which were grouped into 16 morphogroups, with Trichoderma and Aspergillus being the most representative. A total of 19 strains were identified using the molecular method, which made it easier to find their possible biotechnological applications cited in the literature. This investigation has enabled new discoveries that may be inspire further studies that explore microbial resources through co-culture and the relationship between macrofungi and their associated fungi.
