Austro-American lignolytic polypores (Agaricomycetes) - New records for Southern Brazil

Abstract

Following a continuous survey of lignolytic basidiomycetes in Santa Catarina State, Brazil, ten previously unrecorded species of polypores were collected in the State Park of Serra do Tabuleiro, namely Ceriporia tarda, Echinochaete brachypora, Fuscoporia contigua, F. ferruginosa, Irpex lacteus, Oligoporus subcaesius, Oxyporus latemarginatus, Perenniporia ochroleuca, Phellinus bambusinus, P. robustus. Four taxa - F. contigua, F. ferruginosa, P. bambusinus, and P. robustus - also represent first records for Rio Grande do Sul State (Southern Brazil). The new combination Oligoporus caesioflavus is proposed.
