Abstract

Evidence derived from molecular studies in recent years, has revealed that the corticioid fungal genera are present in all major clades of Homobasidiomycetes. Brunneocorticium pyriforme, a corticioid fungal new genus and new species belonging to the euagarics clade, is proposed in this study. This new taxon has been collected from subtropical-tropical Taiwan and southern Yunnan Province of China. Its basidiocarps were quite often found on bark of living Murraya spp. (Rutaceae). The collections without good fertile parts were frequently encountered. Brunneocorticium pyriforme has resupinate basidiocarp and smooth hymenial surface. It has dimitic hyphal system, with nodose-septate generative hyphae and abundant yellowish brown skeletal hyphae. Leptocystidia are occasionally present. Its basidia are 2-sterigmate and basidiospores are pear-shaped. Phylogenetic analysis based on sequence data derived from LSU rDNA indicated that taxonomic placement of Brunneocorticium is in the euagarics clade of Homobasidiomycetes, and is closely related to the agaricoid genera like Marasmiellus, Campanella etc. This molecular analysis also supports independent status of Brunneocorticium, from other corticioid genera with similar morphological features.
