New species from Guyana, Puerto Rico, and Belize. }, year = {2015}, keywords = {Bankeraceae, Caribbean, Central America, ectomycorrhizal fungi, Guiana Shield, Thelephorales, tooth fungi }, doi = {}, url = {http://}, pmid = {}, journal = {Mycologia}, volume = {}, number = {}, pages = {}, abstract = {Four species of the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) genus Sarcodon (Bankeraceae, Thelephorales, Basidiomycota) are described as new to science. Sarcodon pakaraimensis sp. nov. is described from forests dominated by the ECM trees Pakaraimaea dipterocarpacea (Dipterocarpaceae) and Dicymbe jenmanii (Fabaceae subfam. Caesalpinioideae) in the Pakaraima Mountains of Guyana. Sarcodon portoricensis sp. nov. is described from lower montane wet forest within the El Yunque National Forest of Puerto Rico. Sarcodon quercophilus sp. nov. and Sarcodon umbilicatus sp. nov. are described from Quercus cloud forests within the Maya Mountains of Belize. The discovery of these four new species is significant given that the majority of the approximately 87 described Sarcodon species are north temperate or boreal in distribution and frequently associate with coniferous host plants; these constitute the most recent records for Sarcodon from the greater Neotropics. Each of the new species is morphologically consistent with accepted diagnostic characters for Sarcodon: pileate-stipitate stature, a dentate hymenophore, determinate basidioma development, fleshy, non-zonated context, and brown, tuberculate basidiospores. Phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences corroborated the generic placement of S. pakaraimensis, S. portoricensis, S. quercophilus, and S. umbilicatus and, along with morphological differences, supported their recognition as distinct species. Macromorphological, micromorphological, habitat, and DNA sequence data from the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region are provided for each of the new species.} }
