摘要

Fuscoporia (Hymenochaetaceae, Basidiomycota) is a monophyletic genus of poroid macrofungi with a cosmopolitan distribution, mainly characterized by resupinate to pileate basidiomata, poroid hymenophore, generative encrusted hyphae with simple septa, and dark brown hymenial setae. The similarity of the morphological characteristics among the species is taxonomically complex, and the delimitation of the species still presents uncertainties. The integration of morphological and molecular data is essential in resolving these complexes. In this study, Fuscoporia specimens collected in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon were analyzed using morphological analyses integrated with molecular data based on the markers ITS + LSU + RPB2 + TEF1-α. The analyses revealed three new species: F. aureofulva (Fuscoporia gilva group), F. gibertoniae, and F. saracaensis (Fuscoporia torulosa group). In addition, specimens of F. licnoides were analyzed on a morphological basis and are presented in this study. These new species expand the knowledge of the distribution of Fuscoporia in the Brazilian Amazon. Morphological descriptions and comparisons with Fuscoporia species previously recorded in the Brazilian Amazon are provided.
