Abstract
The new species Stereophlebia arizonica from southern Arizona is described and illustrated. Although similar to S. pendula, a widely distributed taxon in North America, molecular phylogenetic analyses and morphological evidence show that they are distinct, sister species. Phylogenetic analyses place Stereophlebia in a clade with Gelatinofungus within the Phanerochaetaceae (Polyporales). Critical morphological features of Gelatinofungus not reported earlier are presented, and G. betulinus is determined to be a later synonym of S. pendula.
期刊介绍:
International in coverage, Mycologia presents recent advances in mycology, emphasizing all aspects of the biology of Fungi and fungus-like organisms, including Lichens, Oomycetes and Slime Molds. The Journal emphasizes subjects including applied biology, biochemistry, cell biology, development, ecology, evolution, genetics, genomics, molecular biology, morphology, new techniques, animal or plant pathology, phylogenetics, physiology, aspects of secondary metabolism, systematics, and ultrastructure. In addition to research articles, reviews and short notes, Mycologia also includes invited papers based on presentations from the Annual Conference of the Mycological Society of America, such as Karling Lectures or Presidential Addresses.
