Morphological and molecular identification of Panus conchatus (Polyporaceae, Polyporales) from Yunnan Province, China

More Information
  • Panus conchatus is a species of lentinoid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. This species is characterized by its concave, smooth, deeply decurrent gills, with distinctive purple grey to greyish magenta basidiocarps. This fungus is widely distributed in both tropical and temperate regions. Here, we report a specimen of P. conchatus collected from a temperate region in Yunnan Province, China. The specimen is described and illustrated based on macro- and micro-morphological characteristics. Phylogenetic analyses were done based on the sequence data of ITS and LSU, and the placement of the taxon was confirmed. This is the first time P. conchatus has been reported with molecular phylogenetic data from China. Full description, illustrations, color photographs, and a phylogenetic tree to show the placement of P. conchatus are provided.

Abstract: Panus conchatus is a species of lentinoid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. This species is characterized by its concave, smooth, deeply decurrent gills, with distinctive purple grey to greyish magenta basidiocarps. This fungus is widely distributed in both tropical and temperate regions. Here, we report a specimen of P. conchatus collected from a temperate region in Yunnan Province, China. The specimen is described and illustrated based on macro- and micro-morphological characteristics. Phylogenetic analyses were done based on the sequence data of ITS and LSU, and the placement of the taxon was confirmed. This is the first time P. conchatus has been reported with molecular phylogenetic data from China. Full description, illustrations, color photographs, and a phylogenetic tree to show the placement of P. conchatus are provided.
