Abstract
Ten new records of Auriculariales, Hymenochaetales, and Polyporales are reported and added to the checklist of the lignocellulolytic Basidiomycetes species of the Atlantic Rain Forest in Southern Brazil (State of Santa Catarina). Trechispora mollusca (Pers.) Liberta is reported for the first time to Brazil.
Highlights
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest is characterized by high biological diversity and severely threatened status (Tabanez & Viana 2000)
The lignocellulolytic polypores have been studied by researchers of the Mycology Laboratory, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, since 1990 and several articles have been published regarding collections from the Atlantic Forest, Santa Catarina Island, and other areas in the State
The aim of this study is to increase the knowledge about Basidiomycota of the Atlantic Forest in the State of Santa Catarina, adding information about geographical distribution of the lignocellulolytic fungi
Summary
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest is characterized by high biological diversity and severely threatened status (Tabanez & Viana 2000). The complete checklist (BASC) is available on http://www.ccb.ufsc.br/
