Abstract

The genus Pycnoporus is a member of Phylum Basidiomycota. This fungus is one of polypore genera that is easily recognized from the orange color of the fruiting body and it likely has high morphological features. Currently, there are 207 number fungal specimens kept in Herbarium Bogoriense (BO) under the genus Pycnoporus, and they were identified as P. sa-nguineus (L.) Murrill, P. cinnabarinus (Jacq.) P. Karst., and Pycnoporus sp. To ensure that those species name of the Pycnoporus collections is correct, thus this study was carried out. Re-identification process on the fungal collections was done based on macro-micromorphological features of all Pycnoporus specimens. This study revealed that species Pycnoporus collections stored in BO represent 2 species: P.sanguineus (L.) Murrill and P. puniceus (Fr.) Ryvarden. In addition, some specimens under the name P. cinnabarinus should be validated as P. puniceus. This information will be very useful for fungal taxonomists, non-taxonomists, and people who work on Pycnoporus species from Indonesia.

Summary

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Fungal specimens under the name of Pycnoporus kept in Herbarium Bogoriense (BO), were sorted. A total of 207 specimen numbers of Pycnoporus were examined using microscope Nikon Eclipse 80i. Those specimens collected from Borneo (Kalimantan), Java, Lesser Sunda Islands, Moluccas, Papua, Sulawesi, Sumatra, and others countries (America, Australia, Madagascar, and Philippines), which were collected from 1893 to 2018. The complete descriptions of the macro and micro features were written, and some photographs were taken. Some microscopic photographs were taken using IndoMicro camera. The chemical reagents were used for microscophical identification are 5% KOH, Melzer’s and Phloxine reagents
