Heterobasidiomycetes from Korup National Park, Cameroon

Abstract

27 species of heterobasidiomycetous fungi within the Auriculariales, Ceratobasidiales, Dacrymycetales, Exidiales, Tremellales, and Tulasnellales are recorded from Korup National Park and the Korup Project Area, Cameroon. Of these 27 species, 21 have not previously been reported from Africa. Basidiodendron excentrispora is described as new. The new combinations Basidiodendron farinaceum and B. radians are proposed. The literature on African heterobasidiomycetous species is briefly reviewed.
