Abstract

Porodaedalea species cause white rot on coniferous trees and show clear host preferences, with a broad distribution across Northern Hemisphere. In this study, a new species, Porodaedalea tabuliformis, is described from Qinling Mountain, Shaanxi Province, China, representing the first record of this genus on the plant Pinus tabuliformis. The species is characterized by larger pores (2–3 per mm), broadly ellipsoid basidiospores. Phylogenetic analyses suggested that it formed a distinct lineage closely related to P. chinensis, P. schrenkianae, and P. yunnanensis based on the ITS, nLSU, rpb2, and tef1-α sequences. To date, a total of 20 species has been recognized in Porodaedalea, and an updated key to the taxa of Porodaedalea is provided in this study.
