Abstract

Two new wood-inhabiting fungal species, Steccherinum tenuissimum and S. xanthum spp. nov. are described based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. Steccherinum tenuissimum is characterized by an annual growth habit, resupinate basidiomata with an odontioid hymenial surface, a dimitic hyphal system with generative hyphae with clamp connections, strongly encrusted cystidia and basidiospores measuring 3?5 ? 2?3.5 ?m. Steccherinum xanthum is characterized by odontioid basidiomata and a monomitic hyphal system with generative hyphae bearing clamp connections. The hyphal system is covered by crystals, colourless, thin-walled, smooth, IKI?, and CB? and has basidiospores measuring 2.7?5.5 ? 1.8?4.0 ?m. Sequences of the ITS and nLSU nrRNA gene regions of the studied samples were generated, and phylogenetic analyses were performed with maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference methods. The phylogenetic analyses based on molecular data of ITS+nLSU sequences showed that two new Steccherinum species fell into the Steccherinaceae within the residual polyporoid clade. Further investigation was obtained for more representative taxa in the Steccherinum based on ITS+nLSU sequences, the results demonstrated that S. tenuissimum and S. xanthum were sister to S. robustius with high support (100% BP, 100% BS and 1.00 BPP).
