Morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses reveal five new species of Hymenochaetales (Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) from southwestern China.

ABSTRACT: Wood-inhabiting fungi can decompose wood materials and play a crucial role in the natural world by maintaining the equilibrium of the Earth's ecosystems. In the present study, five new wood-inhabiting fungal species belonging to the order Hymenochaetales, Hymenochaeteweishanensis, Lyomycesalbofarinaceus, Lyomycesalbomarginatus, Tubulicrinisalbobadius and Xylodonmusicola, collected from southern China, are proposed based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. Hymenochaeteweishanensis is characterized by a coriaceous, tuberculate hymenial surface, a monomitic hyphal system with simple-septate generative hyphae, and ellipsoid to narrow ellipsoid basidiospores (4.0-5.0 × 2.0-3.0 µm); Lyomycesalbofarinaceus is characte
