Abstract

Fomitiporia nobilissima sp. nov., F. gabonensis sp. nov., and F. ivindoensis sp. nov. are described from the rainforest of the Guineo-Congolian phytogeographic region in Gabon. These species share a pileate basidiome, small basidiospores, and an absence of setae. The critical morphological features that differentiate them are the pileus habit or shape, pore surface color, pore diameter, and possibly their ecology. Each new species forms distinct but closely related clades in phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from nuclear ribosomal LSU, ITS, and translation elongation factor 1-α, considered either individually or concatenated. This, along with the occurrence of other species in sub-Saharan Africa and their phylogenetic relationships, are briefly discussed. A key to six species of Fomitiporia from sub-Saharan Africa is also provided.
