Abstract

ABSTRACT This survey presents the first species list of the poroid fungi (Polyporales and related genera) from Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, Núcleo Santa Virgínia, the largest area of the Atlantic forest in Brazil. A total of 68 species, 38 genera and ten families were found in the studied area. Antrodiella luteocontexta, Ceriporiopsis flavilutea, Diplomitoporus navisporus, Flaviporus venustus, Grammothele fuligo, Oxyporus latemarginatus, Perenniporia cremeopora, Postia subcaesia and Postia tephroleuca are recorded for the first time to São Paulo State and Dichomitus campestris and Postia undosa represent the first records in Brazil. Full description of the new records in Brazil, comments about the new records in São Paulo State, as well as pictures and an identification key are provided.

Highlights

  • Polypores belong to class Agaricomycetes Doweld in the Basidiomycota; they grow mostly lignicolous and are characterized by the presence of a hymenophore formed by parallel tubes that lead into a surface composed by pores, which are inseparable from the context, a feature that makes them different from Boletales E.J

  • Based on molecular phylogenetic results, the order has been divided into four lineages, the ‘antrodia clade’, the ‘polyporoid clade’, the ‘phlebioid clade’, and a ‘residual polyporoid clade’, which often unite genera previously considered unrelated (Hibbett & Donoghue 1995, Larsson et al 2004, Binder et al 2005; 2013, Garcia-Sandoval et al 2011, Miettinen et al 2011)

  • Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar (PESM), managed by Instituto Florestal, is a protected area that hosts the largest area of Atlantic forest in Brazil

Summary

Introduction

Polypores belong to class Agaricomycetes Doweld in the Basidiomycota; they grow mostly lignicolous and are characterized by the presence of a hymenophore formed by parallel tubes that lead into a surface composed by pores, which are inseparable from the context, a feature that makes them different from Boletales E.J. Based on molecular phylogenetic results, the order has been divided into four lineages, the ‘antrodia clade’, the ‘polyporoid clade’, the ‘phlebioid clade’, and a ‘residual polyporoid clade’, which often unite genera previously considered unrelated (Hibbett & Donoghue 1995, Larsson et al 2004, Binder et al 2005; 2013, Garcia-Sandoval et al 2011, Miettinen et al 2011). The position of the ‘residual polyporoid clade’ remains uncertain and some taxa Karst) apparently do not belong to any of these main lineages. Families such as Hydnodontaceae Jülich and Schizoporaceae Jülich and many polyporoid genera as Trichaptum Murrill (Incertae sedis) are included in the order Hymenochaetales.
