Abstract

Amylofungus and Dextrinocystidium are pro? posed as new genera of corticioid basidiomycetes. These genera share the characters of clampless hy? phae, gloeocystidia and amyloid basidiospores. Amy? lofungus is characterized by the presence of amyloid hyphae, gloeocystidia and basidia, as well as by utri- form basidia and smooth basidiospores. Dextrinocys? tidium is characterized by having dextrinoid and cy- anophilic lamprocystidia, utriform basidia, verrucose basidiospores, and by skeletal hyphae. Amylofungus cor- rosus and D. sacratum, respectively type species of these two genera, are proposed as new combinations. A key is provided to the genera of resupinate basidiomycetes with gloeocystidia and amyloid basidiospores.
