Abstract
A new species from Kenya, Eastern Africa, Fuscoporia kenyana sp. nov., is decribed and illustrated. The new species has annual and pileate basidiocarps, small pores (9–11 per mm), septate skeletal hyphae, the presence of cystidioles and broadly ellipsoid basidiospores measuring 4–4.5 × 3–3.5 µm. The phylogenetic analyses based on the nLSU and ITS+nLSU datasets demonstrated that Fuscoporia kenyana was a new taxon in the genus Fuscoporia. Two annotated identification keys are provided for the African species and annual and effused-reflexed to pileate species of Fuscoporia, respectively.
