Four new species of Phanerochaete (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) from China.

ABSTRACT: Four new wood-inhabiting fungi viz. Phanerochaetecastanea, P.citrinoalba, P.citrinorhizomorpha, and P.wuyiensis spp. nov. - are proposed based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. Phanerochaetecastanea is characterized by soft coriaceous basidiomata detachable from the substrate, becoming reddish brown in KOH, subulate cystidia with an obtuse apex. Phanerochaetecitrinoalba is characterized by the coriaceous basidiomata with smooth, cracking hymenial surface, sterile margins with yellowish to whitish rhizomorphs, a monomitic hyphal system, generative hyphae mostly with simple septa and occasionally with clamp connections at basal hyphae. Phanerochaetecitrinorhizomorpha is characterized by soft coriaceous b
