Vanderbylia vicina is a species of poroid fungus in the family Polyporaceae, and the type species of the genus Vanderbylia .

Contents

Taxonomy

The fungus was originally described by Curtis Gates Lloyd in 1924 as Polyporus vicinus. Specimens were sent to Lloyd by Paul Andries van der Bijl from collections made in South Africa. [3] Derek Reid transferred the species to the new genus Vanderbylia in 1973, in which it is the type species. [4] Cony Decock and Leif Ryvarden proposed a transfer to Perenniporia in 1993. [5]

Description

Vanderbylia vicina has a shelf-like, semicircular fruit body that measures up to 75 mm (3 in) long, 150 mm (6 in) wide, and 25 mm (1 in) thick at the base. It has a dimitic hyphal system, with tree-like ("arboriform") skeletal hyphae in the tube tissue. The spores are more or less spherical to obovoid in shape, with dimensions averaging 8.2 by 6.6  μm. They have a dextrinoid reaction with Melzer's reagent, and have a small germ pore opposite the apiculus. [5]

Distribution

Vanderbylia vicina is found in east and southern Africa. Collections have been made in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Ethiopia. [5]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Polyporaceae</span> Family of fungi

The Polyporaceae are a family of poroid fungi belonging to the Basidiomycota. The flesh of their fruit bodies varies from soft to very tough. Most members of this family have their hymenium in vertical pores on the underside of the caps, but some of them have gills or gill-like structures. Many species are brackets, but others have a definite stipe – for example, Polyporus badius.

Abundisporus is a small genus of poroid fungi currently with seven recognized species. They differ from other polypores in having coloured rather than hyaline spores.

<i>Perenniporia</i> Genus of fungi

Perenniporia is a cosmopolitan genus of bracket-forming or crust-like polypores in the family Polyporaceae. They are dimitic or trimitic with smooth, thick-walled basidiospores and cause a white rot in affected wood.

<i>Oxyporus</i> Genus of fungi

Oxyporus is a genus of polypore fungi in the family Schizoporaceae. An individual family Oxyporaceae was described for the genus. A number of species in this genus are plant pathogens, causing a white rot. The genus is widely distributed.

<i>Daedalea</i> Genus of fungi

Daedalea is a genus of fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1801 by mycologist Christian Hendrik Persoon, based on the type D. quercina and four other species. The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek δαιδαλεος.

<i>Ischnoderma</i> Genus of fungi

Ischnoderma is a genus of polypore fungi. Species in the genus have dark brown and tomentose fruit bodies that become darker brown to black and smooth when mature. The genus, widespread in temperate regions, contains an estimated 10 species.

<i>Amauroderma</i> Genus of fungi

Amauroderma is a genus of polypore fungi in the family Ganodermataceae. The genus, widespread in tropical areas, contains about 70 species. Amauroderma fungi are wood-decay fungi that feed and fruit on decayed branches and trunks.

<i>Irpex</i> Genus of fungi

Irpex is a genus of corticioid fungi in the order Polyporales. Species produce fruit bodies that grow as a crust on the surface of dead hardwoods. The crust features an irpicioid spore-bearing surface, meaning it has irregular and flattened teeth. Irpex is distinguished from the similar genera Junghuhnia and Steccherinum by the simple septa found in the generative hyphae.

<i>Microporellus</i> Genus of fungi

Microporellus is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae.

Navisporus is a genus of seven species of tropical poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden in 1980 with Navisporus floccosus as the type species. This fungus, first described as Trametes floccosa by Giacomo Bresadola in 1896, is thought to have been originally collected in Tanzania.

Pseudopiptoporus is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden in 1980 with the type species Pseudopiptoporus devians. This fungus was originally published as Polyporus devians by Giacomo Bresadola in 1920. Pseudopiptoporus chocolatus was added to the genus in 2003.

Vanderbylia is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed by British mycologist Derek Reid in 1973.

<i>Rhodofomitopsis lilacinogilva</i> Species of fungus

Rhodofomitopsis lilacinogilva is a species of bracket fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae. Known primarily from Australia, it has also been recorded from Brazil and India. It is a white-rot fungus that grows on rotting eucalyptus wood. Its main identifying feature is the lilac colour of the pore surface on the underside of the fruit body.

Skeletocutis bicolor is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It is found in Singapore.

Perenniporiella is a genus of five species of polypore fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus was segregated from Perenniporia by Cony Decock and Leif Ryvarden in 2003 with P. neofulva as the type species.

<i>Funalia</i> Genus of fungi

Funalia is a fungal genus in the family Polyporaceae. The genus was circumscribed by French mycologist Narcisse Théophile Patouillard in 1900. He made Funalia mons-veneris the type species; this fungus was originally described as Polyporus mons-veneris by Franz Wilhelm Junghuhn in 1838. The generic name is derived from the Latin funalis.
