Abstract

Mitochondrial small subunit ribosomal DNAs of Cerrena unicolor and Trametes consors were sequenced and compared with those of known mushroom taxa. Trametes consors is a species recently transferred from Irpex, and Cerrena is a genus closely related to Trametes. The present phylogenetic tree showed that Cerrena unicolor and Trametes consors clustered together and made an independent lineage from the Trametes group. A new combination, Cerrena consors (Berk.) Ko and Jung, comb. nov., is proposed here by transferring Trametes consors into Cerrena based on molecular data along with taxonomic evidence.
