Three new species of Phylloporia (Hymenochaetales) with dimitic hyphal systems from tropical China.

Three new species of Phylloporia from tropical China are described in this study: P. manglietiae, P. pendula, and P. pseudopectinata. Phylloporia manglietiae is characterized by triquetrous to ungulate basidiomata, with 6-8 pores/mm, a monomitic to dimitic hyphal system, and broadly ellipsoidal basidiospores, 3-3.5 × 2-2.5 μm. Phylloporia pendula has small, imbricate, and pendent basidiomata, with 7-9 pores/mm, a dimitic hyphal system, and broadly ellipsoidal basidiospores, 3.5-4 × 2.5-3 μm. Phylloporia pseudopectinata differs from other species of Phylloporia by its applanate basidiomata, with 8-9 pores/mm, a dimitic hyphal system, and subglobose basidiospores, 3-3.5 × 2-3 μm. Phylogenetic analyses, based on sequences from the D1-D2 domains of the 28S gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 = ITS) of the nuc rDNA, support the classification of the three new species in Phylloporia.
