Taxonomy

edit

Polyporus linteus was named by Miles Joseph Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis and first reported with specimen from Nicaragua in 1860.[3] Phellinus linteus was a rename by Shu Chün Teng in 1963.[4] It was renamed Tropicoporus linteus by Li-Wei Zhou and Yu-Cheng Dai in 2015.[2]

The following mushrooms are applied with the name Phellinus linteus:

Americas

edit
  • Phellinus linteus per se, the tropical American species, now Tropicoporus linteus
  • In subtropical South America, Phellinus linteus on Cordia americana is actually Tropicoporus drechsleri; specimens collected on other plant hosts require further studies.[5]

Asia

edit

Africa

edit
  • Xanthochrous rudis, an African species formerly regarded as a synonym of Phellinus linteus, regained taxon independency and was renamed Tropicoporus rudis.[2]

Description

edit

A description was made by Tian et al. (2012) for the epitype.[6]

This mushroom's tube trama is dimitic, contains generative and skeletal hyphae.[6]

Ecology and habitat

edit

Tropicoporus mushrooms cause a white rot.[2]

This mushroom is known distributed in Nicaragua,[3] United States (Florida)[6] and Brazil.[7]

Tropicoporus linteus grows on oak and tamarind.[5]
