Poroid Hymenochaetaceae associated with wood rots of trees in three timber-harvesting compartments of the Garden Route National Park (GRNP), South Africa, were investigated using multilocus phylogenetic analyses and morphology of the basidiomes. Results revealed the presence of 10 species belonging to five genera. Six of the species are known, but four are described as new. The known species include , and . The new species are described as , and .

Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses a genus of poroid white-rot fungi that includes species with distinct features but poses identification challenges due to their similarities with other fungi and limitations in genetic markers.
  • Recent molecular research has expanded the genus's classification, revealing 71 new species, though a thorough study of its diversity in Korea is still lacking.
  • The authors conducted a phylogenetic study using multiple genetic markers and morphologic assessments, identifying ten species in Korea, including three previously unknown species, and providing detailed descriptions and proposed Korean names for all species.

The family Hymenochaetaceae includes a diversity of 893 species described around the world. Its representatives are known by their usually rusty colored basidiomes with a poroid hymenial surface, hydnoid or smooth, woody consistency, and wide morphological variation regarding the arrangement on the substrate. They behave as saprophytic, parasitic, ectomycorrhizal and play a fundamental role in the decomposition of wood in forest ecosystems.

is a cosmopolitan, poroid, wood-decaying genus, belonging to the Hymenochaetales. During a study of wood-inhabiting fungi in the USA, four unknown specimens were collected from Hawaii. Both morphological criteria and molecular genetic analyses based on the ITS+nLSU+EF1-α datasets and the nLSU dataset confirmed that these four specimens represent two new species of , and they are described as and is characterized by pileate basidiocarps, the absence of cystidioles, hooked hymenial setae, broadly ellipsoid to subglobose basidiospores measuring 4-6 × 3.

is a sterile conk which produces macrofungus, a neglected Central-Eastern European relative of the prized , also known as chaga. Investigation of the methanol extract of the poroid fungus resulted in the isolation of citropremide (), 3,4-dihydroxybenzalacetone () , lanosterol (), ergost-6,8,22-trien-3β-ol (), and ergosterol peroxide (). The structures of fungal compounds were determined on the basis of one- and two-dimensional NMR and MS spectroscopic analysis.
