1. Sanghuangporus toxicodendri is a new species of Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota from China.
2. It is characterized by having perennial, effused-reflexed to pileate basidiocarps; pore surface brownish yellow or yellowish brown, pores 7–9 per mm; context 1–5 mm thick or almost invisible; setae ventricose, dark brown, 26–42 × 7–10 μm; basidia 4-sterigmate or occasionally 2-sterigmate; basidiospores broadly ellipsoid, smooth, brownish yellow, slightly thick-walled, mostly 3.5–4 × 2.8–3 μm.
3. Molecular phylogeny strongly supports the monophyly of Sanghuangporus spp., and an identification key to known species of Sanghuangporus is provided.
The article “Sanghuangporus toxicodendri sp. nov. (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) from China” is a reliable source of information on the newly discovered species of fungus from China. The authors provide detailed descriptions and illustrations of the characteristics of the new species as well as molecular evidence for its classification in the genus Sanghuangporus and its relationship to other related species in the same genus. The authors also provide an identification key for all known species in this genus which can be used for further research and identification purposes.
