The Fungi kingdom is known to have a high diversity of organisms and, from its ancestor to the most derived forms, includes the largest lineage among the eukaryotes. However, it is estimated that only about 5% of that diversity is known, and new species are published annually for all regions of the world. Approximately 16,000 new species were registered in the Index of Fungi between 1981 …
Ganoderma, the largest genus of the family Ganodermataceae, is well defined due to basidiospores very characteristic, is widely distributed and occurs especially in tropical regions. Although this is the most important pathogen of many plants of economic interest, the delimitation of species is still not well solved due to the large morphological variability, and little is known about its…
Insides the Neotropics, the Brazilian Atlantic Forest is one of the most diverse and threatened due to the high fragmentation and deforestation. Although it had been largely destroied, taking serious risks to the survival of many species, the Atlantic forest refuge many fungi species, which still unexplored by the taxonomic view. Among the Polyporales, the Trichaptum genre includes specie…
The kingdom Fungi is known for having a high diversity, corresponding to one of the largest groups of living organisms. Nevertheless, it is estimated that only about 5% of the existing species have been described. The class Agaricomycetes groups a large part of the macroscopic fungi, including the order Polyporales, which is divided into four major clades. The residual polyporoid clade gr…
Wood is a fraction of the biomass of inestimable importance for structuring the natural forest environment, it is an essential element in the carbon cycle. Wood decaying is back this carbon to the atmosphere and fungi are one of the main agents of this process, being benefited by temperature, humidity and low levels of extractives present in the wood. This study aims to understand the pro…

In tropical forests, wood is one of the major components of biomass and it retains carbon in form of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose molecules. Fungi are important organisms that are responsible for degrading these compounds in order to release CO2 back to the atmosphere. The present study aims to identify which fungi species occurs in three species of tree branches during two years o…
The genera Antrodiella, Flaviporus, Junghuhnia and Tyromyces are white-rot wood decomposing fungi that comprehend species with small smooth and hyaline basidiospores, mono-dimitic hyphal system. Even if traditionally morphological characteristics have been used to separate and define each of them, recent works shows that they are polyphyletic and those characteristics do not provide a suf…
