A Tropicoporus species among the types of Fulvifomes swieteniae

Abstract

Abstract Fulvifomes swieteniae, is considered a synonym of F. cedrelae based on morphological, molecular, and ecological data. The type materials of F. swieteniae were revised in this work and based on our morphological observations and a reappraisal of the literature, the holotype fits the taxonomic concept of F. cedrelae, while the paratype corresponds to Tropicoporus linteus. Given these facts, the paratype of F. swieteniae is determined as T. linteus by perennial basidioma with a hyphal system that is monomitic in the context and dimitic in the trama of the tubes, hymenial setae, and colored basidiospores that become darker in KOH solution.
