Summary: In this study, phylogenetic analyses were conducted on Perenniporia species and related genera using DNA sequences of multiple loci. It was found that the genus Perenniporia is polyphyletic. Based on morphology and phylogeny, 15 new genera were proposed, 2 new species were described, and 37 new combinations were proposed. Illustrated descriptions of the new species were provided, along with identification keys to Perenniporia and its related genera.

Summary: Two new wood-inhabiting fungi, Mycorrhaphium subadustum sp. nov. and Trullella conifericola sp. nov., from Asia were proposed and characterized based on molecular phylogeny and morphological features. Phylogenetic analyses using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods placed the two new species in isolated lineages with full support within Steccherinaceae, with unique distinguishing characteristics discussed in comparison to allied species and a provided key to Mycorrhaphium species.

Summary: A new formanilide dimer and three known formanilides were isolated from the culture broth of Perenniporia fraxinea. Their structures were determined using spectroscopic methods and comparison with previous data. The isolated compounds showed free radical scavenging activities and some of them exhibited inhibitory effects on powdery mildew in cucumber leaf disk assay.

Summary: Based on anatomical, ecological, and phylogenetic evidence, there are six species of the Ganoderma genus in Europe. Molecular markers provide different views on the variability of European Ganoderma species, with the LSU marker showing the lowest intraspecies variability and the best species differentiation. The commonly used ITS marker is unable to discriminate between G. lucidum and G. carnosum, and these species show the lowest interspecies divergence. Hidden variability has also been detected in several Ganoderma species in Europe, indicating possible cryptic taxa.

Summary: In this study, the diversity within Bjerkandera adusta species was investigated using molecular approaches. It was found that the sequence diversity observed at the ITS sequence level is not due to cryptic speciation, but instead, it is a result of intragenomic variability of ITS sequences in this species.

Summary: Wood decay fungi are a valuable source of enzymes and metabolites with various applications, including myco-remediation. This study investigated the potential of five selected strains of wood decay fungi to degrade pharmaceuticals. The most effective fungi, Ganoderma resinaceum and Perenniporia fraxinea, showed significant degradation rates for diclofenac, paracetamol, and ketoprofen. These fungi also demonstrated high degradation rates for certain antibiotics in wastewater.

Summary: Five new drimane-type sesquiterpenoids, including two new drimane-type sesquiterpene lactams, were isolated from cultures of basidiomycetes. The structures of these compounds were elucidated based on NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, and they exhibited no significant antimicrobial or cytotoxic activities.

Summary: This study conducted a taxonomic review of the genus Phylloporia in Cuba and identified eight new species, expanding the known geographical distribution area. More sampling is needed in areas with information gaps and high plant endemism, as well as molecular analyses to explore the phylogenetic relationships between species.

Summary: This study is the first report on Fulvifomes species from Pakistan. A new species, Fulvifomes aurantiacus, was identified based on morpho-anatomical and phylogenetic analyses. The species is characterized by its orange-brown pileal surface, yellow ocher wide zones, velutinous poroid hymenophore, duplex context, dimitic hyphal system, absence of hymenial setae, and highly pigmented ovoid to sub-globose basidiospores. Phylogenetically, the species forms a distinct clade with other Fulvifomes species.

Summary: A new species, Pyrofomes lagerstroemiae sp. nov., is described and illustrated from Hubei Province, Central China, based on morphology and molecular phylogenetic analyses. The new species is characterized by its greyish brown to fuscous, pileate basidiomata, cinnamon buff to greyish brown pore surface, big pores, subglobose to broadly ellipsoid basidiospores, and growing gregarious on Lagerstroemia indica.

Summary: The taxonomy of Sistotremastrum (Trechisporales, Basidiomycota) has been revised based on morphology and DNA data, resulting in the split of the genus into Sistotremastrum s. str. and Sertulicium. The former retains eleven species, eight of which are new, while the latter encompasses at least six species, including one new to science. These two genera are distantly related to other representatives of the Trechisporales, and a new poroid neotropical species, Porpomyces abiens, has been described with morphological similarity to some members of Sistotremastrum s. str.

Summary: The identity of Achroomyces effusus has been confirmed using morphological and DNA methods and a neotype has been selected, which is conspecific with the generic type of Colacogloea. The new combination C. effusa is proposed for this species, which has priority over Colacogloea peniophorae.

Summary: Modern taxonomic studies of Agaricomycetes rely on integrative analyses of morphology, environmental data, geographic distribution, and often multiple DNA loci. In this study, a minimal number of specimens and DNA loci were suggested to prevent inadequate taxonomic decisions in species groups with minor differences. Sampling four unlinked nuclear DNA gene regions confirmed a single-species interpretation and identified a younger synonym.

Summary: The taxonomy of Basidiodendron caesiocinereum complex has been revised using morphological and molecular methods, identifying basidiospore ornamentation as a key character for species recognition. Eight new species related to B. caesiocinereum have been described, while the identities of some previously named species have been redefined. This study also discusses the identity of B. spinosum from Oceania.

Summary: Cerinomyces, traditionally defined by corticioid basidiocarps, has been revised for a more concise delimitation based on new phylogenetic analysis. The monophyletic Cerinomyces s.s. is characterized by a combination of traits rather than just corticioid morphology, and some corticioid species have been transferred to Dacrymycetaceae. In addition, new species have been described and new combinations proposed in both Cerinomycetaceae and Dacrymycetaceae.
