Wood-rotting fungi in eastern China 6. Two new species of Antrodia (Basidiomycota) from Mt. Huangshan, Anhui Province

Researchers have identified two new species of wood-rotting fungi, Antrodia bambusicola and A. huangshanensis, from Mount Huangshan in Anhui Province, eastern China. These discoveries expand the known diversity of the genus Antrodia (Basidiomycota) and contribute to understanding fungal biodiversity in UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Antrodia bambusicola is distinguished by its thin, annual basidiocarps with white to cream pore surfaces and growth on fallen Bambusa spp., while A. huangshanensis exhibits larger pores, branched hyphae at dissepimental edges, and a preference for dry environments, causing brown rot on Pinus massoniana branches. The study employed morphological and microscopic analyses to characterize these species, providing insights into their ecological roles and taxonomic significance.
