Evolution of lignocellulose decomposition was one of the most ecologically important
innovations in fungi. White-rot fungi in the Agaricomycetes (mushrooms and relatives) are …

Taxonomic and phylogenetic studies on the brown-rot fungi, Fomitopsis and its related
genera, are carried out. On the basis of morphological characters and phylogenetic …

We explored whether DNA-phylogeny-based and morphology-based genus concepts can
be reconciled in the basidiomycete family Phanerochaetaceae. Our results show that …

Phylogenetic relationships of Rhizoctonia fungi within the order Cantharellales were studied
using sequence data from portions of the ribosomal DNA cluster regions ITS-LSU, rpb2, tef1 …

A new species of Thelephora, characterized by more or less infundibuliform basidiomes and
globose to subglobose strongly echinulate basidiospores, is described from the Dominican …

Lichenicolous species are widely distributed in the Basidiomycota, and many are known to
produce sclerotia or bulbils with few additional structures to permit taxonomic placement …

Four new sequestrate species of Russulaceae are described and illustrated from China in
this study. Accepting the concept that both the agaricoid and sequestrate species were …
