Abstract
Fomitiporia chilensis and Phylloporia boldo are described as new poroid species in the Hymenochaetaceae based on morphological, cultural, ecological, and phylogenetic analyses. Fomitiporia chilensis pertains to the Fomitiporia punctata species
complex, being related to its Neotropical taxa. It is distinguished by pulvinate to effuse basidiomes that develop an indurated
margin, by contextual tissue between the tube strata and basidiospores larger than 6.0 μm, and by growth on dead tissues of
Peumus boldus and Cryptocarya alba. Its closest phylogenetic relatives are Fomitiporia neotropica and Fomitiporia impercepta,
which differ by flatter basidiomes and by microscopical features. Phylloporia boldo grows and sporulates exclusively on living
Peumus boldus. It is distinguished by a pileate basidiome with sulcate, indurated pileal surface, a dimitic hyphal system and by
relatively large basidiospores 5.4–6.0 × 4.4–5.0 μm with dull chestnut walls. It was found to be phylogenetically related to
Phylloporia dependens, described from China; both species being distantly related to other species in Phylloporia.

Introduction
The knowledge of Chilean larger fungi is rather good thanks
to the works of Singer (1969), Garrido (1988), and Valenzuela
(1993), among others. A baseline for this knowledge has been
the works by Mujica and Vergara (1945), Mujica and Oherens
(1967), and Mujica et al. (1980), which offered a database of

pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi. In the last decade,
Minter and Peredo López (2006) began a web page where
taxonomic information on Chilean fungi can be approached,
and Gorjón and Hallenberg (2012, 2013) updated and published the most valuable information on corticioid fungi.
Polypores have been included in those works but, by far, specialists have given them little attention. The knowledge of
polypores from southern South America has been summarized
by Rajchenberg (2006), and studies on their phylogeny have
been published (Rajchenberg et al. 2011 and Rajchenberg
et al. 2015; Miettinen and Rajchenberg 2012; Rajchenberg
and Pildain 2012; Pildain and Rajchenberg 2013; Dai et al.
2014), but the focus of these works has been on the eastern
slope of the Andes Cordillera forests, and the incorporation of
Chilean specimens has been fortuitous. Exceptions are the
recent records of taxa by Sandoval and Rajchenberg (2011),
Sandoval-Leiva (2014), and Pildain et al. (2017 and 2018).
Poroid Hymenochaetaceae Donk (Hymenochaetales,
Agaricomycotina, Basidiomycota) is a well-known group of
wood-inhabiting fungi that include many serious forest pathogens that produce white heart and canker rots worldwide
(Gilbertson and Ryvarden 1986 and Gilbertson and
Ryvarden 1987; Larsen and Cobb-Poulle 1990; Dai et al.
2007; Dai 2010; Rajchenberg and Robledo 2013), and some
866
species have potential medicinal value (Dai et al. 2010; Wu
et al. 2012). Most taxa, though, live through the decay of
wood as saprotrophs on dead, fallen wood, and few have been
shown to be mycorrhizal (Larsson et al. 2006). Because of
their ecologic and economic importance, this group has been
paid constant attention in the last years by mycologists, and
results on its taxonomy and phylogeny do not lose the pace.
During the research of poroid Hymenochaetaceae from
southern Chile (Antarctic Region, Subantarctic Domain,
Subantarctic Province (Cabrera and Willink 1973)), it became
evident that this region with numerous biogeographic districts
and forest types (Donoso 1993) host several unknown, possibly endemic taxa that deserve an appropriate study.
The aim of this work is to describe two new species of
poroid Hymenochaetaceae from southern Chile.
Materials and methods
Areas studied Field trips were performed during autumns
2014–16 and 2018 in the phytogeographic region of subtropical xerophytic and durifoliated forests (Hueck 1978, Cabrera
1971, Cabrera and Willink 1980) around Concepción city,
Chile.
Specimens and strains studied Specimens of poroid
Hymenochaetaceae were gathered and dried overnight in a
50 °C oven. Fresh portions of basidiomata and/or their associated wood were separated in order to get cultures from either
contextual tissue or the associated wood rot, grown in 2% malt
extract agar. Specimens and strains were deposited at the first
author’s institutional culture collection (CIEFAPcc) and phytopathological herbarium (CIEFAP); type materials are deposited at BAFC; some duplicates are kept at CONC.
Morphology of basidiomata followed standardized methods
(cfr. Rajchenberg et al. 2015, Drechsler-Santos et al. 2016).
Cultures were studied and characterized according to Nobles
(1965) and Stalpers (1978). Herbarium codes follow Thiers
(2018).
Sequencing DNA was isolated from samples with the
UltraClean™ Microbia DNA Isolation (MoBio Laboratories
Inc., Carlsbad, CA) as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
The primer pair LR0R-LR5 (Vilgalys and Hester 1990) was
used to amplify the partial 28S large sub-unit of nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (LSU), both in Phylloporia and Fomitiporia
samples. Amplification and sequencing of LSU are described
in Rajchenberg et al. (2015). On the other hand, the full internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, the fragment between
exons 4 and 8 of the translation elongation factor 1-a
(tef1-α) gene, and the RPB2 gene were amplified for the
Fomitiporia DNA samples. Amplification reactions were performed with GoTaq® Green Master Mix Protocol (Promega
Mycol Progress (2019) 18:865–877
Corp) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations with
the primers ITS5 and ITS4 for ITS (http://biology.duke.edu/
fungi/mycolab/primers.htm), 2212R, 1953R, 983F, 2218R for
tef1-a (Rehner and Buckley 2005; Matheny et al. 2007),
bRPB2-6F, and bRPB2–7.1R for RPB2 (Matheny 2005) under conditions defined by Decock et al. (2007) and Amalfi
et al. (2010, 2012). The amplified fragments were sequenced
at the DNA Synthesis and Sequencing Facility, Macrogen
(Seoul, Korea). Sequences generated in this study were submitted to GenBank, and their codes are presented in Table 1.
Sequences were assembled and edited with with BioEdit 7.0.
9.0 (Hall 1999).
Phylogenetic analysis The LSU sequences of Inonotus
hispidus (GenBank AF311014) was chosen as outgroup for
Phylloporia analyses based on the results of Zhou (2016).
While for the complete data set of ITS analysis of
Fomitiporia, Phellinus uncisetus was designated as outgroup
(Decock et al. 2007). On the other hand, for the Fomitiporia
combined phylogenetic analyses, F. castilloi was designated
as outgroup (Amalfi and Decock 2013; Amalfi et al. 2014;
Morera et al. 2017). Nucleotide sequences were initially
edited with BioEdit 7.0.9.0 (Hall 1999), then aligned automatically with MAFFT (Katoh and Standley 2013) and manually
adjusted in MEGA version 6 (Tamura et al. 2013).
The final LSU dataset for Phylloporia resulted in 98 sequences with 902 characters including gaps, 938 characters
for the ITS dataset of Fomitiporia (93 taxa), the LSU, ITS,
TEF, and RPB2 of Fomitiporia datasets comprised 19 sequences representing 7 putative species, 795, 773, 1132, and
788 characters including gaps, respectively, which were manually combined for concatenated analyses. The substitution
models that best fitted the sequence alignments were determined using the AIC criterion (Akaike 1974) implemented
in jModelTest (Posada 2008; http://darwin.uvigo.es). The
following models were used: TrN+I+G for LSU of
Phylloporia; in Fomitiporia, TVM+I+G for the ITS
complete dataset, TIM+I for LSU, HKY+G for ITS, TrNef+I
for TEF, and TrN+G for RPB2. Maximum likelihood (ML)
phylogenetic trees for individual loci (LSU of Phylloporia)
and Fomitiporia combined data were estimated under these
models in RAxML 7.2.8 (Stamatakis 2014) and Bayesian inferences (BI) of phylogenies in Mr. Bayes v.2.2 (Ronquist
et al. 2012) with four incrementally heated simultaneous
Monte Carlo Markov chains (MCMC) run over 10 million
generations. Trees were sampled every 1000 generations; convergence after removal of the first 10% (10000) of trees was
determined by observing that the standard deviation of split
frequencies reached < 0.01; effective sample size (ESS) values
for all parameters were > 200 and that parameters had reached
a stationary stage after a 10% burn-in. Tracer 1.6 was used to
check the effective sample sizes. For the remaining trees, a
majority rule consensus tree showing all compatible partitions

Results
Phylogenetic analyses
The full ITS and the combined LSU+ITS+TEF+RPB2
concatenated dataset for Fomitiporia (Fig. 1) phylogenetic
analyses showed that Chilean collections are grouped in a
monophyletic group with strong support (ITS: BPP = 1,
MLB = 100; LSU+ITS+TEF+RPB2 concatenated dataset:
BPP = 1, MLB = 100%). This new taxon is closely related to
Fomitiporia neotropica (ITS: BPP = 1, MLB = 92; LSU+
ITS+TEF+RPB2 concatenated dataset: BPP = 1, MLB =
98%) and Fomitiporia impercepta (LSU+ITS+TEF+RPB2
concatenated dataset: BPP = 1, MLB = 80%) within the resupinate habit group defined by Amalfi et al. (2014). The phylogenetic analyses of LSU sequences of Phylloporia, which
includes collections from Patagonia, Chile, is presented in
Fig. 2. The trees generated from both datasets using ML and
BI analyses were congruent; therefore, only the Bayesian trees
with both BPP and MLB values are shown. Phylogenetic
analyses indicated that the Chilean collections of
Phylloporia are closely related with P. dependens and form a
strong monophyletic group (BPP = 1, MLB = 95%). Within
this group, two well-defined species were observed,
P. dependens (BPP = 86, MLB = 65%) and the new species
P. boldo (BPP = 1, MLB = 100%).

Remarks Fomitiporia chilensis pertains to the Fomitiporia
punctata (P. Karst.) Murrill species complex in South
America (Decock et al. 2007), within the resupinate habit
(Amalfi et al. 2014) of the Neotropical lineage. It is
macromorphologically similar to Fomitiporia dryophila
Murrill, with which it shares a cushion-shaped to pseudopileate basidiome that develops an indurated margin that
cracks with age. Fomitiporia dryophila differs by lacking a
black line against the substrate which may also develop as a
thin line in the contextual tissue and by presenting indistinct
tube layers. Microscopically, both species are similar, with
subtle differences in basidiospores’ size (cfr. Decock et al.
(2007) and Raymundo et al. (2012) for recent descriptions
and photographs of the species). Biogeographically,
F. dryophila differs in growing in subtropical areas of SE
USA and in Mexico, fruiting on Quercus spp. and Celtis
occidentalis, Byrsonima crassifolia, and Psidium sp., on dead
or living stems/branches. Fomitiporia neotropica Camp.Sant., Amalfi, R.M. Silveira, Robledo Decock (Campos
Santana et al. 2014) and F. impercepta Morera, Robledo and
Urcelay (Morera et al. 2017) are the closest taxa, phylogenetically. The former differs by annual to biannual, flat, and resupinate basidiomata with pores 6–9/mm and the presence of
hymenial setae. Fomitiporia impercepta is rather similar morphologically but differs by flatter basidiomes less than 1 cm
thick and smaller basidiospores, (4.0)5.0–6.0(7.0) × 4.0–
6.0(7.0) μm.

creviced, in older parts irregularly tuberculate, breaking irregularly and in some portions becoming slightly to strongly
rimose. Context 2–3 mm thick, presenting a black line that
separates an upper narrow part that becomes the indurated
pilear surface from a lower homogenous part; sometimes,
the black line present as the lower indurated limit of the pilear
surface; in some basidiomes, the black line is discontinuous.
Tubular layer up to 4.5 cm thick. Pores surface light tobacco
brown, pores round, 4–5.5/mm.
Hyphal system dimitic. Context monomitic in the upper
portion but soon becoming dimitic. Generative hyphae simple-septate, branched, 3–6(− 7) μm in diam.; first narrow, with
slightly thickened, golden to light chestnut walls, some becoming wider and 1.5–2 μm thick-walled, leaving a distinct
lumen, chestnut to dark chestnut. Skeletal hyphae generally
straight, few branched, 4–7 μm in diam., with thickened walls,
light to dark chestnut. Some skeletal hyphae present secondary, roundish septa that may be confused with true septa and
erroneously give the idea that the hyphal system is monomitc.
Dissepiments dimitic, with narrower hyphae than in the context. Generative hyphae 2–3.5 μm in diam., much branched
and some tortuous, with slightly thickened, golden walls.

Distribution Though most of the specimens have been gathered in the province of Concepción, it seems to follow the
host, as it has been also found in the province of Melipilla
near the capital city Santiago. Peumus boldus is distributed
from southern Coquimbo in the North to southern Valdivia in
the South.

Cultures studied: CIEFAPcc 532 (=MR12573), 533
(=MR12574), 534 (=MR12575), 584 (=MR12606), and 585
(=MR12607)
Culture description: growth very slow to slow, 2.1–2.5 cm
(but in strain CIEFAPcc 532 up to 5.5 cm by the end of the
study). Mat generally felty and yellowish or becoming chestnut, margin irregular, subfelty, and whitish (in strain
CIEFAPcc 532 mat openly wooly, not dense, whitish in the
growing area, becoming yellowish in the middle of the mat
and towards the inoculum tightly felty and chestnut). Agar
unchanged or becoming chestnut. Margin subfelty. Odor
none. Margin with simple septate generative hyphae, 2- to
3-μm diam., walls thin but becoming thickened and chestnut,
some may be confused with fiber hyphae but they always
present septa. Aerial hyphae formed by generative hyphae
2.5- to 3-μm or wider, 4- to 6-μm diam., narrowing at the
septum, some with yellowish contents, thin- to slightly
thick-walled; some of the wider hyphae forming digitiform
ramifications near the septum in a more or less verticillate
disposition. One culture formed fiber hyphae 2.5 to 3.5-μm
diam., unbranched, with thickened, golden to chestnut walls.
Code: 2.6.(8).32.37.38.39.47.(48).54.
Note: strains of the new species are characterized by a
very slow growth, with exceptional formation of fiber
hyphae. Otherwise, they form the typical yellowish mat
of many Hymenochaetaceae.
Remarks
The new species resembles Phylloporia pectinata (Klotzsch)
Ryvarden for its perennial and dimitic basidiome, but this
species presents a duplex context and typical golden yellowish
basidiospores. Other perennial taxa in the genus (Zhou and
Mycol Progress (2019) 18:865–877
Dai 2012, Zhou 2015 and 2016) differ by presenting small
pores in a degree in between 6 and 12/mm, and/or by basidiospores smaller than 5 μm. Other taxa in the genus are annual
and monomitic (cfr. Zhou and Dai 2012, and Dai 2010 for
descriptions and photographs). Phylloporia boldo differs from
all species in the genus by its comparatively large basidiospores with chestnut to dull chestnut (not golden) walls in
KOH that better resemble those of Fulvifomes Murrill.
Phylloporia dependens Y.C. Dai groups phylogenetically with
the new taxon but differs by a monomitic hyphal system and
smaller, golden basidiospores (Liu et al. 2015). The association of both species and their low relatedness with all other
taxa of Phylloporia that have been incorporated in phylogenetic studies suggest the existence of a clade different from
Phylloporia. Nevertheless, for the time being, it is difficult to
assert how this two species might be related, for which reason
we prefer to maintain them under the name Phylloporia.
Because of the morphological similarity of P. boldo with
Fulvifomes species, efforts Bto force^ their association in the
phylogenetic analysis were performed, but all failed.
From a biogeographic point of view, there is no apparent
relationship of the new taxon with other species. It is clear that
P. boldo is an example of a taxon whose relationships remain
unknown, due probably to the lack of information on the phylogenetic disposition of taxa from the Southern hemisphere.
Discussion
The two new described species have strong phylogenetic and
morphological support. Most important issues have been addressed under the BRemarks^ of each of them. Cultural features
were typical of the Hymenochaetaceae but did not present any
feature characteristic at genus level, as has already been shown
for that family (Fiasson and David 1983); nevertheless, they
provide useful information for phytopathological studies. We
underline the importance of inventories in order to properly
establish the mycodiversity of different areas, also for larger
fungi. In the case of F. chilensis, a relationship with the South
American taxa within the Fomitiporia punctata species complex was found. For Phylloporia boldo, no apparent biogeographic relationship was found with the single species that is
phylogenetically related to it, P. dependens. This shows that
there is a gap of knowledge regarding this group of woodrotting fungi and that future studies incorporating phylogenetic
analyses may provide clues to understand its diversity. Our
study shows that the mycobiota of Chile is still fragmentarily
known and that we might expect new taxa to be discovered.
