Abstract

The taxonomy of Phanerochaete sensu stricto is studied herein by using both morphological and molecular methods.Phylogenetic analyses are based on a concatenated ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and nrLSU sequence data of 50 taxa of Phanerochaete s.s.around the world.Among these are nine newly described and illustrated species -P.burdsallii, P. cinerea, P. hymenochaetoides, P. leptocystidiata, P. metuloidea, P. minor, P. sinensis, P. subrosea and P. yunnanensis.While P. burdsallii is from the U.S.A., the other new species were collected from China.In addition, nine species, P. bambucicola, P. citrinosanguinea, P
