Fig. 1. Phylogenetic tree obtained from maximum parsimony analysis of ITS and nrLSU sequence data of Stereaceae. Branches are labelled with parsimony bootstrap values (≥ 50%, front), likelihood bootstrap values (≥ 50%, middle) and Bayesian posterior probabilities (≥ 0.95, back). New taxa are shown in bold.
