Abstract

Phellinus fibrosus sp. nov. and P. sousae sp. nov. have a distinct combination of morphological characteristics not known in other Phellinus species and are described as new species to science. They were collected in the states of Amazonas and Mato Grosso, and deposited in herbarium INPA 34 years ago. Morphological descriptions, pictures of the basidiomata and basidiospores in light microscopy and/or SEM, and a key to the species of Phellinus s.l. from the Brazilian Amazonia are provided.
