Abstracts We reviewed the ecological characteristics of wood-inhabiting fungi in Malaysia in
relation to the major threats to these fungi; we also examined the forest uses that would help …

We examined the species richness and host utilization patterns of wood-inhabiting
aphyllophoraceous fungi (polypores and related fungi) in an old-growth beech and oak …

Sixteen field trips were carried out in eastern Himalayas of southwest China, and around 2
440 specimens of poroid wood-decaying fungi were collected. The present paper …

“The Malesian region” refers to a biogeographic region that includes the Malay Peninsula,
Java, Sumatra, Borneo, the Philippines, and their surrounding islands, and that is …

Polypores, basidiomycetes and Xylariaceae are important decomposers of woody materials
in forest ecosystems (Lindsey and Gilbertson, 1978; Swift, 1982; Jung, 1987; Rayner and …

In a moist tropical forest in Panama, the wood-decay polyporefungi comprise many rare
species (more than half found only once) andexhibit diversity that exceeds that of the …

The distribution and ecological impacts of plant-associated fungi is determined in large part
by their degree of specificity for particular host species or environmental conditions. Here we …

Polypores (Basidiomycota) from Hunan Province, south-central China, were investigated
during 1999—2002. Based on nearly 600 collections, 102 poroid species were identified …

Host specialization in highly diverse tropical forests may be limited by the low local
abundance of suitable hosts. To address whether or not fungi in a low‐diversity tropical …

Macrofungi of the order Polyporales are among the most important wood decomposers and
caused economic losses by decaying the wood in standing trees, logs and in sawn timber …
