Notes – Zhou et al. (2015) studied the morphological and phylogenetic data of the Inonotus linteus complex and introduced two new genera, Sanghuangporus and Tropicoporus. Sanghuangporus refers to the popular Chinese traditional medicinal fungus “Sanghuang” (Zhu et al. 2019). Sanghuangporus includes species with perennial, resupinate, effused-reflexed to pileate basidiomata, homogeneous to duplex context, poroid hymenial layer, with round to angular pores. Microscopically monomitic to mono-dimitic hyphal system, presence or absence of cystidioles, presence of hymenial setae, absence of hyphoid setae and ellipsoid, broadly ellipsoid to subglobose, yellowish, slightly thickto thick-walled, smooth basidiospores (Zhou et al. 2015). Mycobank reported 20 related species in the genus Sanghuangporus, 19 species were documented in Index Fungorum and Nucleotides from 16 different species were recorded in GenBank (as on 9 May 2024) (Fig. 1).
Figure 1 – phylogram generated from Bayesian analysis based on combined ITS and LSU rDNA sequence data of Sanghuangporus spp. The combined analyses include 29 taxa, which comprised 1908 characters (LSU: 933, ITS: 966) after alignment. The new species sequences used in the study are in bold. The tree is rooted with Inocutis tamaricis (CBS 384.72) and Inonotus compositus (Wang 552). Bootstrap support values for Maximum Likelihood (ML)≥65% and Bayesian posterior probability (BYPP)≥0.95 are given above the nodes. Type species are bold and newly generated taxa in green
