  • Title: A new species of Fomitiporia (Hymenochaetaceae, Basidiomycota) from China based on morphological and molecular characters.
    Author: Dai YC, Cui BK, Decock C.
    Journal: Mycol Res; 2008 Mar; 112(Pt 3):375-80. PubMed ID: 18308524.
    Abstract:
    Fomitiporia punicata sp. nov., collected from Shaanxi Province, northern China, and so far exclusively on Punica granatum (Punicaceae), is described and illustrated, and its preliminary phylogenetic relationships are inferred based on sequence data from the ribosomal ITS-5.8S regions. Fomitiporia punicata belongs to the F. robusta-F. punctata complex, but is characterized by an effused-reflexed to pileate basidioma with triquetrous to ungulate pilei, pale yellowish brown to cinnamon brown pore surface, moderately thick-walled skeletal hyphae in the context, which are partly collapsed on drying, lack of setae, presence of fusoid to subulate cystidioles, and growth on Punica. It also forms a distinct clade within Fomitiporia, and is related to some species from the temperate or Mediterranean zone of the northern hemisphere. An identification key to the species of Fomitiporia recorded in China is provided. Fomitiporia tibetica is transferred to Pseudoinonotus.
