Abstract
A new species of polypore in genus Cerrena was discovered in Kangwon Province, Korea. The resupinate basidiocarp and light orange, poroid hymenophore were sufficiently different to be distinguished from previously recorded species of Cerrena, C. consors, C. cystidiata, C. sclerodepsis and C. unicolor. Based on the results of morphological and phylogenetic analyses, we propose this new polypore as Cerrena aurantiopora sp. nov.
We are grateful for the help of Dr Rymvydas Vasaitis (Swedish University) for the kind donation of C. unicolor cultures and of Dr Shaun Pennycook (Landcare Research, Auckland, New Zealand) for advice on nomenclature. Corrections and suggestions for improvement to earlier versions of this paper were made by two anonymous reviewers and Dr Brandon Matheny (University of Tennessee). This work was supported by the project of Molecular phylogenetic analyses of major Korean taxa from the National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR), Ministry of Environment, Republic of Korea.
