Summary: A new species of bird's nest fungus, Cyathus tongxinianus, is proposed based on morphological and molecular evidence. The species is characterized by its cupulate to obconical basidiomata, smooth outer and inner surface, dimitic hyphal system, fimbriate mouth, brown black to dark grey peridioles, presence of crystals, and sub-globose, thick-walled basidiospores. Phylogenetic analyses using ITS and nLSU rRNA markers showed that C. tongxinianus is closely related to C. annulatus and C. renweii.

Summary: Brown-rot fungi are important for forest ecosystems as they degrade wood cellulose and hemicellulose, and contribute to nutrient cycling. Recent studies have shown that the ability to produce brown rot has evolved independently multiple times. This study focuses on the classification and phylogenetic relationships of brown-rot fungi within the Polyporales, based on DNA sequences from various loci. The study proposes new families, genera, species, and combinations, and provides illustrations and descriptions for the new species.

Summary: This study investigated the bioactive components and antioxidant activities of various species of Sanghuangporus fungi. The results showed that the antioxidant capacity of Sanghuangporus is closely related to the contents of flavonoid and ascorbic acid, followed by polyphenol and triterpenoid, and finally, polysaccharide. These findings provide important resources and guidance for the separation, purification, and development of bioactive agents from wild Sanghuangporus species, as well as the optimization of their artificial cultivation conditions.
