Abstract Mushroom-forming fungi (Agaricomycetes) have the greatest morphological diversity and complexity of any group fungi. They radiated into most niches fulfil diverse roles in ecosystem, including wood decomposers, pathogens or mycorrhizal mutualists. Despite importance mushroom-forming fungi, large-scale patterns their evolutionary history are poorly known, part due to lack a comprehensive dated molecular phylogeny. Here, using multigene genome-based data, we assemble 5,284-species...
Molecular phylogenies using 1–4 gene regions and information on ecology, morphology pigment chemistry were used in a partial revision of the agaric family Hygro- phoraceae. The phylogenetically supported genera we recognize here Hygrophoraceae based these previous analyses are: Acantholichen, Ampulloclitocybe, Arrhenia, Cantharellula, Cantharocybe, Chromosera, Chrysomphalina, Cora, Corella, Cuphophyllus, Cyphellostereum, Dictyonema, Eonema, Gliophorus, Haasiella, Humidicutis, Hygroaster,...
Phylogenetic relationships among members of the antrodia clade were investigated with molecular data from two nuclear ribosomal DNA regions, LSU and ITS. A total 123 species representing 26 genera producing a brown rot included in present study. Three datasets (combined LSU-ITS dataset, ITS dataset) comprising sequences 449 isolates evaluated three different phylogenetic analyses (maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony, Bayesian inference). We overview five main groups recovered: fibroporia,...

Veloporphyrellus is a genus known from North and Central America, southeastern Asia, Africa. Because species of this are phenotypically similar to some taxa in several genera, such as Boletellus, Leccinum, Strobilomyces, Suillus Tylopilus s.l. belonging Boletales, its phylogenetic disposition has never been addressed. We analyzed four DNA regions, the nuclear ribosomal LSU tef-1α, mitochondrial mtSSU atp6 genes, investigate Veloporphyrellus. Although monophyly systematic placement within...
Gyroporus (Gyroporaceae, Boletales) is a highly diverse genus of poroid ectomycorrhizal mushrooms with nearly worldwide distribution. Previous attempts to unravel the diversity within this proved difficult due presence semicryptic species and ambiguous results from analysis ribosomal RNA markers. In study, we employ combined morphotaxonomic phylogenetic approach delimit elucidate geographic evolutionary patterns in Gyroporus. For analyses, protein-coding genes atp6 (mitochondrial adenosine...
Neoboletusantillanussp. nov. appears to be the only red-pored bolete known from Dominican Republic date. It is reported as a novel species science based on collections gathered in neotropical lowland mixed broadleaved woodland. A detailed morphological description, color images of fresh basidiomes habitat and line drawings main anatomical features are provided relationships with phylogenetically phenotypically similar taxa discussed. Three genomic regions (nrITS, nrLSU/28S rpb2) have been...
The occurrence of Austroboletus subflavidus and Fistulinella gloeocarpa is documented from the Dominican Republic. latter species reported for first time outside its original locality in Martinique, extending geographic range this uncommon pinkish-spored bolete. A detailed morphological description provided each accompanied by color pictures fresh basidiomes habitat line drawings main anatomical features. Both represent independent lineages within their respective genera based on...
Boletus abruptibulbus sp. nov. is described as new to science. It inhabits old sand dunes in mixed oak-pine stands across the Gulf Coast of northern Florida.
Poria carnegieae was described from Arizona growing on the woody ribs of saguaro cactus, Carnegiea gigantea, and transferred to Ceriporiopsis due morphological evidence. Posterior phylogenetic studies showed a relationship with Bjerkandera. New sequence data morphologic evidence are presented support transfer
