}Tropical rainforests present high biodiversity, including high numbers of unknown fungal species. During a fungal survey in continuous near-natural rainforests in natural reserve of Kaw, French Guiana, we collected a remarkable polypore, characterized by a lateral stipe and numerous small black scales on its flabelliform pileus. It is here described as Polyporus minutosquamosus, nova species. In phylogenetic trees, based on combined ITS and partial nLSU rDNA sequences, it is nested within the…

The phylogenetic results showed that B. paradoxa and P. udus are not conspecific, and both species form independent lineages that cluster together within a monophyletic genus recognized here as Bresadolia.

Divergence times as additional criterion in ranking provide additional evidence to resolve taxonomic problems in the Basidiomycota taxonomic system, and also provide a better understanding of their phylogeny and evolution.

Taxonomic study of Favolus and Neofavolus gen. nov. segregated from Polyporus (Basidiomycota, Polyporales)
- BiologyFungal Diversity
- 2012
Phylogenetic analyses of nurLSU and ITS regions revealed that the infrageneric ‘group Favolus’ is divided into two main clades, which include members of the Polyporus grammocephalus complex, the P. tenuiculus complex, and P. alveolaris.
Phylogeny and global diversity of Polyporus group Melanopus (Polyporales, Basidiomycota)
- BiologyFungal Diversity

This study explores the phylogeny and species diversity of Polyporus sensu lato focusing on the group Melanopus based on global samples, and recovers four clades, Favolus, Neofavlus,Melanopus and PolyporellusClades, while several species in the morphological groups MelAnopus andPolyporus were outside these clades.
Phylogenetic relationships of Polyporus and morphologically allied genera1
- BiologyMycologia
- 2008
Five of the six major clades contained species belonging to a single infrageneric group, Favolus, Melanopus, Polyporellus or Polyporus, suggesting that morphological characters used to define these groups have phylogenetic significance and reveals the need for a taxonomic revision ofPolyporus and its allied genera.
The magnitude of fungal diversity: the 1.5 million species estimate revisited * * Paper presented at
- Environmental Science
- 2001
The consensus of tropical and molecular mycologists in particular is that an increased estimate could be justified, however, it is prudent to retain 1‐5 M as the current working hypothesis for the number of fungi on Earth while additional data to test it further accumulates.

A computerized method is presented that reduces to a certain extent the necessity of manually editing multiple alignments, makes the automation of phylogenetic analysis of large data sets feasible, and facilitates the reproduction of the final alignment by other researchers.

The initial version of the MAFFT program was developed in 2002 and was updated in 2007 with two new techniques: the PartTree algorithm and the Four-way consistency objective function, which improved the scalability of progressive alignment and the accuracy of ncRNA alignment.
