Summary: Two new species of Antrodia, A. aridula and A. variispora, were discovered in western China. Phylogenetic analysis based on a six-gene dataset showed that these two species form independent lineages within the Antrodia clade and have distinct morphological characteristics from other known Antrodia species. A. aridula is characterized by angular to irregular pores of 2-3 mm and oblong ellipsoid to cylindrical basidiospores measuring 9-12 x 4.2-5.3 μm, while A. variispora has sinuous or dentate pores of 1-1.5 mm and oblong ellipsoid, fusiform, pyriform, or cylindrical basidiospores measuring 11.5-16 x 4.5-5.5 μm, and they grow on different types of wood.

Summary: Two new corticioid fungi, Phanerochaete shenghuaii and Rhizochaete variegata, are described and illustrated from Southwest China based on their morphological characteristics and molecular data. The phylogenetic analyses confirm their placement within the Phanerochaete clade and the Rhizochaete clade of Phanerochaetaceae. Related species with similar morphologies are discussed in the study.

Summary: This study identified the species diversity of Ganoderma in Yunnan Province, China using morphological and molecular characteristics. The results revealed the presence of 18 Ganoderma species, including three new species. A checklist of Ganoderma species in Yunnan Province, accounting for 71.11% of the known species in China, was established, along with a classification key.

Summary: Two new species of the genus Dugesia from Hainan Island of China are described based on morphological, karyological, and molecular data. Dugesia semiglobosa and Dugesia majuscula have distinct characteristics and mixoploid chromosome complements. The sexualization process may have been induced by lower temperatures in the laboratory compared to their natural habitat.

Summary: Leptoporus is a rare genus found mainly in coniferous forests in the Northern Hemisphere. Unlike other species in its family, Leptoporus can cause brown-rot decay instead of white-rot decay. Through molecular and morphological studies, a new species, Leptoporus submollis, is discovered in Southwest China.

Summary: In this study, two new species, Haploporus ecuadorensis from Ecuador and H. monomitica from China, were described and illustrated based on morphological examination and phylogenetic analyses. H. ecuadorensis is characterized by several features, such as annual, resupinate basidiomata, pinkish buff to honey yellow hymenophore when dry, round to angular pores, and various hyphal structures. Haploporus monomitica differs from other Haploporus species in its monomitic hyphal system and strongly dextrinoid basidiospores. An updated key to 27 species of Haploporus is also provided.

Summary: Megasporoporia sensu lato is a common polypore genus in tropics, recognized by its resupinate, light-colored basidiocarps with big pores growing on fresh fallen trunks and branches. Molecular analyses revealed its polyphyletic nature, leading to its division into three genera. This study identified and described four new species and proposed a new combination within the genus.
