Diversity of wood – decaying fungi in haikou forestry farm, Yunnan Province, P.R. China

Abstract

Nine field trips carried out in Haikou Forestry Farm, Yunnan Province, P.R. China resulted in 681 specimens of wood-decaying fungi. The present paper summarizes 52 species collected that are distributed in 37 genera, 16 families, 6 orders including their hosts and substrates. A checklist of wood-decaying fungi in Haikou Forestry Farm is also given. Phylogenetic analysis of ITS nrRNA gene region was performed for all the collected samples with maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference methods. The phylogenetic tree showed that fifty-two species nested in sixteen families belonging to six orders in Agaricomycetes.
