Diversity of wood-inhabiting macrofungi in tropical areas of Yunnan Province,China
Yunnan tropical areas of southwesten China with complex topography and diverse vegetations are endowed with abundant macrofungal resources.In this study,more than 2 100 specimens of wood-inhabiting macrofungi were collected.A total of 668 species,belonging to 245 genera,67 families,17 orders and 2 phyla,was identified based on morphological and molecular evidence,including 1 new family,4 new genera and 64 new species previously published by the authors.Fourteen dominant families with more than 10 species for each family are Polyporaceae,Hymenochaetaceae,Xylariaceae,Steccherinaceae,Auriculariaceae,Hypoxylaceae,Incrustoporiaceae,Phanerochaetaceae,Meruliaceae,Mycenaceae,Fomitopsidaceae,Schizoporaceae,Stereaceae,and Dacrymycetaceae;they include 500 species,accounting for about 74.85%of the total species.There are 34 dominant genera with more that 5 species for each genus,including Hymenochaete,Xylaria,Trametes,Ganoderma,Fuscoporia,Skeletocutis and so on.They include 336 species,accounting for about 50.30%of the total species.Wood-inhabiting macrofungi of the studied areas are of typically tropical properties.There are 27 edible species,75 medicinal species and 6 poisonous species.
