Abstract

The paper reviews the types of substrata inhabited by non-poroid resupinate Homobasidiomycetes <em>in situ</em> in global scale with both examples from literature sources and from observations on Belarus corticioid fungi biota. The groups of organic world colonized by corticioid basidiomata and vegetative mycelium are arboreous, semi-arboreous, and herbaceous vascular plants, Bryophyta, epiphytic coccoid algae, lichenized and non-lichenized fungi, and occasionally myxomycetes and invertebrates. The fungi occur on living, dying, and dead on all decay stages parts of organisms. Besides, the fungi are known on soil, humus, stones, artificial inorganic and synthetic materials and dung.

Highlights

  • Corticioid fungi (Homobasidiomycetes) is an artificial union of life forms, the assembling of which is based mostly on basidioma morphological organization similarity

  • Our definition of corticioid basidiomata sensu lato includes the types of fructifications ranged from totally resupinate to effuse-reflexed with rather wide effused part in most cases, and from loose arachnoid to crustose and membranaceous in consistency; the hymenophore shape varies from smooth to almost poroid and long-toothed

  • Corticiaceae s. l. are known on all kinds of woody plants – angiosperms, gymnosperms, and arboreous ferns (Tubulicium vermiculare (Wakef.) Boidin & Gilles and T. dussii (Pat.) Oberw. fide Domański 1992)
