Polypores (Basidiomycetes) from Henan Province in central China

摘要

Nearly 700 specimens of polypores were collected in three nature reserves of Henan Province, central China. Out of which, 55 genera and 130 species were identified and 105 species were new to the area. Inonotus henanensis Juan Li & Y.C. Dai is described and illustrated as new.Henan Province is situated in central China between 31° 2 3'-36° 22' N and 110° 21-116° 39' E. Most of the province is farmland, however, some forests occur in the mountains in south and southwest of the province. Several nature reserves were established in these mountains during 80's of last century. Wood-inhabiting fungi were poorly known in Henan Province, and only 30 species of polypores were recorded previously (Teng 1996, Zhao 1998, Mao 2000, Zhang & Dai 2005). Two field trips were made in Baotianman, Shirenshan and Jigongshan nature reserves (Fig. 1) in Henan Province during 2005 and 2006, and almost 700 specimens of polypores were collected during these trips, among them, 130 species and 55 genera were identified. The results are given in the following together with an illustrated description of a new species.
