The species is characterized by resupinate, perennial basidiomes, numerous, straight to commonly apically hooked hymenial setae, and ellipsoid to broadly ellipsoid, thin- to thick-walled, hyaline to yellowish basidiospores. Both the morphology and the phylogenetic inferences based on partial nuc-LSU relate this species to Ph. caribaeo-quercicolus.}, address = {Berlin / Heidelberg}, affiliation = {Institut de Recherche en Ecologie Tropicale (IRET, CENAREST), Gros Bouquet, Libreville, Gabon}, author = {Yombiyeni, Prudence and Douanla-Meli, Clovis and Amalfi, Mario and Decock, Cony}, doi = {10.1007/s11557-010-0708-z}, interhash = {1e3fb87586521be4e572d68c398f8c51}, intrahash = {75844a6af525b94275ee8b8a1a15d03f}, issn = {1617-416X}, issue = {3}, journal = {Mycological Progress}, keyword = {Biomedical and Life Sciences}, pages = {351-362}, publisher = {Springer}, title = {Poroid Hymenochaetaceae from Guineo–Congolian rainforest: Phellinus gabonensis sp. nov. from Gabon – taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11557-010-0708-z}, volume = 10, year = 2011 } @article{douanlameli2010reassessment, abstract = {Lentinoid fungi characterised by villosity of pileus and/or stem mostly belong to the genera Lentinus and Panus However, morphology-based taxonomy of some of these species has remained controversial and they used to be classified back and forth between the two genera The aim of this study was to investigate the phylogenetic relationships of these velutinate lentinoid fungi based on partial sequences of nuclear large subunit (nucLSU) rDNA Fourteen sequences generated from Cameroon specimens out of which eleven sequences of velutinate collections were included in the dataset of taxa belonging to the polyporoid clade, their phylogeny was obtained by Bayesian, maximum parsimony, and likelihood analyses In all trees a clade comprising all Lentinus taxa was resolved, whereas taxa referred to as Panus spp formed a strongly supported monophyletic group Species with velutinate to tomentose basidiomes were distributed over both clades Those with pilose-strigose basidiomes and corresponding to Lentinus subsect Criniti grouped together in the Lentinus clade Contrarily, species with velutinate to strigose basidiomes and thick-walled skeletocystidia, which are considered belonging to Lentinus sect Velutinia, nested in the Panus clade, but were nonmonophyletic In this latter clade, the P velutinus complex, including taxa with velutinate to hispid-strigose basidiomes and long-slender stems, was moderately supported The results indicated that the combination of uninflated vegetative hyphae, unbranched skeletal hyphae, and a radiate hymenophoral trama type is phylogenetically supported and characterises those species in the Panus clade}, author = {Douanla-Meli, C. and Langer, E.}, interhash = {b8370f5c3226bf8b02e0a92e499895a2}, intrahash = {52b55553c22f520a201f48f36f59652b}, journal = {Sydowia}, month = jun, number = 1, pages = {23-35}, title = {Reassessment of phylogenetic relationships of some lentinoid fungi with velutinate basidiomes based on partial 28S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing}, url = {/brokenurl#://000281569000003}, volume = 62, year = 2010 } @article{moncalvo2006cantharelloid, abstract = {We reassessed the circumscription of the cantharelloid clade and identified monophyletic groups by using nLSU, nSSU, mtSSU and RPB2 sequence data. Results agreed with earlier studies that placed the genera Cantharellus, Craterellus, Hydnum, Clavulina, Membranomyces, Multiclavula, Sistotrema, Botryobasidium and the family Ceratobasidiaceae in that clade. Phylogenetic analyses support monophyly of all genera except Sistotrema, which was highly polyphyletic. Strongly supported monophyletic groups were: (i) Cantharellus-Craterellus, Hydnum, and the Sistotrema confluens group; (ii) Clavulina-Membranomyces and the S. brinkmannii-oblongisporum group, with Multiclavula being possibly sister of that clade; (iii) the Sistotrema eximum-octosporum group; (iv) Sistotrema adnatum and S. coronilla. Positions of Sistotrema raduloides and S. athelioides were unresolved, as were basal relationships. Botryobasidium was well supported as the sister taxon of all the above taxa, while Ceratobasidiaceae was the most basal lineage. The relationship between Tulasnella and members of the cantharelloid clade will require further scrutiny, although there is cumulative evidence that they are probably sister groups. The rates of molecular evolution of both the large and small nuclear ribosomal RNA genes (nuc-rDNA) are much higher in Cantharellus, Craterellus and Tulasnella than in the other cantharelloid taxa, and analyses of nuc-rDNA sequences strongly placed Tulasnella close to Cantharellus-Craterellus. In contrast analyses with RPB2 and mtSSU sequences placed Tulasnella at the base of the cantharelloid clade. Our attempt to reconstruct a "supertree" from tree topologies resulting from separate analyses that avoided phylogenetic reconstruction problems associated with missing data and/or unalignable sequences proved unsuccessful.}, author = {Moncalvo, J.

The majority of these species cause a white rot. The polypore Bridgeoporus and several corticioid species with inconspicuous basidiomata, live in association with brown-rotted wood, but their nutritional strategy is Dot known. Mycorrhizal habit is reported for Coltricia perennis but needs confirmation. A surprising element in the hymenochaetoid clade is a group of small white to brightly pigmented agarics earlier classified in Omphalina. They form a subclade together with some similarly colored stipitate stereoid and corticioid species. Several are associated with living mosses or one-celled green algae. Hyphoderma pratermissum and some related corticioid species have specialized organs for trapping and killing nematodes as a source of nitrogen. There are no unequivocal morphological synapomorphies known for the hymenochaetoid clade. However almost all species examined ultrastructurally have dolipore septa with continuous parenthesomes while perforate parenthesomes is the normal condition for other homobasidiomycete clades. The agaricoid Hymenochaetales have not been examined. Within Hymenochaetales the Hymenochaetaceae forms a distinct clade but unfortunately all morphological characters supporting Hymenochaetaceae also are found in species outside the clade. Other subclades recovered by the molecular phylogenetic analyses are less uniform, and the overall resolution within the nuclear LSU tree presented here is still unsatisfactory.}, author = {Larsson, K.

Current classifications assume that chytrids form an early-diverging clade within the kingdom Fungi and imply a single loss of the spore flagellum, leading to the diversification of terrestrial fungi. Here we develop phylogenetic hypotheses for Fungi using data from six gene regions and nearly 200 species. Our results indicate that there may have been at least four independent losses of the flagellum in the kingdom Fungi. These losses of swimming spores coincided with the evolution of new mechanisms of spore dispersal, such as aerial dispersal in mycelial groups and polar tube eversion in the microsporidia ( unicellular forms that lack mitochondria). The enigmatic microsporidia seem to be derived from an endoparasitic chytrid ancestor similar to Rozella allomycis, on the earliest diverging branch of the fungal phylogenetic tree.}, author = {James, T.
