Abstract
Amauroderma s.lat. has been defined mainly by the morphological features of non-truncate and double-walled basidiospores with a distinctly ornamented endospore wall. In this work, taxonomic and phylogenetic studies on species of Amauroderma s.lat. are carried out by morphological examination together with ultrastructural observations, and molecular phylogenetic analyses of multiple loci including the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS), the large subunit of nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (nLSU), the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB1) and the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2), the translation elongation factor 1-α gene (TEF) and the β-tubulin gene (TUB). The results demonstrate that species of Ganodermataceae formed ten clades. Species previously placed in Amauroderma s.lat. are divided into four clades: Amauroderma s.str., Foraminispora, Furtadoa and a new genus Sanguinoderma. The classification of Amauroderma s.lat. is thus revised, six new species are described and illustrated, and eight new combinations are proposed. SEM micrographs of basidiospores of Foraminispora and Sanguinoderma are provided, and the importance of SEM in delimitation of taxa in this study is briefly discussed. Keys to species of Amauroderma s.str., Foraminispora, Furtadoa, and Sanguinoderma are also provided.

INTRODUCTION
Amauroderma was established by Murrill (1905) and is usually classified in Ganodermataceae. The type species, A. schomburgkii was described from Guyana. The species of the genus often emerged from the roots of living or dead trees on the ground (Ryvarden 2004), and as traditional circumscription the genus is distributed mainly in Neotropics and tropical or subtropical areas of Africa, Asia and Oceania. The taxonomy of the genus was mostly based on traditional morphological characteristics. Macroscopically, it is usually characterized by annual and stipitate to sessile basidiomata, dull to laccate pilei, fresh pore surface colour changing or not when bruised or dry. Microscopically, the genus presents dimitic to trimitic hyphal system, globose to ellipsoid basidiospores, without truncate apex, which are double-walled with thick and ornamented endospore wall (rarely smooth) (Furtado 1981, Corner 1983, Aime et al. 2003, Ryvarden 2004).
Taxonomic and phylogenetic studies of Ganodermataceae have been carried out in recent years, but most studies focused on Ganoderma (Smith & Sivasithamparam 2000, Hong & Jung 2004, Pilotti et al. 2004, Wang et al. 2009, Cao et al. 2012, Cao & Yuan 2013, Li et al. 2014b, Lima Júnior et al. 2014, Coetzee et al. 2015, Hapuarachchi et al. 2015, Xing et al. 2016, Xing et al. 2018, Thawthong et al. 2017) and only a few studies dealt with Amauroderma (Gomes-Silva et al. 2015, Costa-Rezende et al. 2016, 2017, Song et al. 2016). Regarding this phylogenetic context, Amauroderma has been pointed as polyphyletic and regarded as Amauroderma s.lat., in which Amauroderma s.str. has been defined as a Neotropical clade (Gomes-Silva et al. 2015, Costa-Rezende et al. 2016); as for the relevance of hyphal system composition and basidiospore ultrastructure for generic delimitation in the group was observed, as well as two new genera called Foraminispora and Furtadoa were proposed (Costa-Rezende et al. 2017). Furthermore, the generic status of Amauroderma s.lat. species from Asia and Oceania still was questioned (Song et al. 2016), such as ‘Amauroderma rude clade’ composed by A. rude, A. rugosum and A. perplexum; and ‘Amauroderma yunnanense clade’ composed by A. yunnanense (Costa-Rezende et al. 2017), as well as a variety of Asian and African species which were not phylogenetically tested. In this study, taxonomic and phylogenetic analyses of Amauroderma s.lat. were carried out based on more samples from areas outside the neotropics, such as Africa, Asia and Oceania. Based on the abundant specimens, morphological descriptions including ultrastructural features combined with six gene markers provided convincing evidence to clarify the taxonomic status of the species in Amauroderma s.lat.
Nine genera are accepted in Ganodermataceae, of which Amauroderma s.str., Foraminispora, Furtadoa, Haddowia and Magoderna have non-truncate basidiospores, while Ganoderma, Tomophagus, Humphreya and Trachyderma have basidiospores with obvious truncate apex (Karsten 1881, Imazeki 1939, Imazeki 1952, Steyaert 1972, Corner 1983, Moncalvo & Ryvarden 1997, Costa-Rezende et al. 2017). Amauroderma s.str. is distinguished by di-trimitic hyphal system and endospore wall with solid columnar to semi-reticulated ornamentation (Costa-Rezende et al. 2017). Foraminispora has the unique ultrastructure features of basidiospores with hollow columnar endospore ornamentation, which persist to the exospore wall forming holes sometimes under SEM (Costa-Rezende et al. 2017). Furtadoa is distinguished by a monomitic hyphal system in context, with clamped and simple-septate generative hyphae which are different from other genera (Costa-Rezende et al. 2017). Haddowia has distinctive basidiospores, of which the exospore wall with longitudinal ridges partly connected with short transverse walls (Steyaert 1972, Corner 1983). Magoderna can be distinguished by woody hard basidiomata with slightly shiny pileus and fibrotic context, and its hyphae in pileal cover anticlinal (Steyaert 1972). Tomophagus has light basidiomata, with a pale and soft context (Le et al. 2012). Humphreya can be characterized by basidiospores with reticular or erratic irregular ridged double walls (Steyaert 1972). Trachyderma is mainly characterized by a fleshy succulent context when growing (Imazeki 1939, 1952).
In this study, in order to clarify the taxonomy and phylogeny of taxa in Amauroderma s.lat., specimens from different regions of the world were studied using macro-morphology, microscopic examinations together with ultrastructural observations and molecular phylogenetic analyses of six genes (including ITS, nLSU, RPB1, RPB2, TEF and TUB). According to the integrative research, Amauroderma s.lat. is divided into four genera including one new genus; furthermore, six new species are described and eight new combinations are proposed and re-described.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Morphological studies
All samples examined in this study were deposited at the herbaria of the Institute of Microbiology, Beijing Forestry University, China (BJFC), the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China (HMAS), the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Brazil (URM) and the National Herbarium of Victoria, Australia (MEL). Macro-morphological descriptions were based on field notes and herbarium specimens. Special colour terms followed Petersen (1996). Micro-morphological data were obtained from dried specimens and observed under a light microscope following methods in Li et al. (2014a) and Han et al. (2016). Microscopic features and measurements were made from slide preparations stained with Cotton Blue and Melzer’s reagent. Spores were measured from sections cut from the tubes. To represent variation in the size of spores, 5 % of measurements were excluded from each end of the range and are given in parentheses. The following abbreviations were used: IKI = Melzer’s reagent; IKI– = neither amyloid nor dextrinoid; KOH = 5 % potassium hydroxide; CB = Cotton Blue; CB+ = cyanophilous; L = mean spore length (arithmetic average of all spores); W = mean spore width (arithmetic average of all spores); Q = variation in the L/W ratios between the specimens studied; n (a/b) = number of spores: (a) measured from given number, (b) of specimens. Microscopic features, such as basidiospores, basidia, cystidioles and hyphae, were observed and photographed at a magnification of up to ×1000 with a Nikon Digital Sight DS-Fi2 microscope (Nikon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), and quantified by the Image-Pro Plus 6.0 software (Media Cybernetics, Silver Spring, USA). Ultrastructures of basidiospores were observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) at Beijing Forestry University, China (BJFU) and Tsinghua University, China (THU). Firstly, the fragments of the tubes or spore powder on the pileal surface were slightly broken by Tissue-Prep (Bio-explorer International Limited, Beijing, China) to observe the endospore ornamentation in detail. These tissues were metal sprayed and observed using a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) Hitachi SU-8010 (Hitachi, Ltd, Tokyo, Japan).
DNA extraction, amplification and sequencing
A CTAB rapid plant genome extraction kit-DN14 (Aidlab Biotechnologies Co., Ltd, Beijing, China) and an FH plant DNA kit II (Demeter Biotech Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) were used to extract total genomic DNA from dried specimens and to perform the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) according to the manufacturer’s instructions with some modifications (Cui et al. 2019, Shen et al. 2019).
The internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS) was amplified with primer pairs ITS5 and ITS4 (White et al. 1990); for the large subunit of nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (nLSU) we used LR0R and LR5 (Vilgalys & Hester 1990). The primer pairs RPB1-Af and RPB1-Cr (Matheny et al. 2002) were used to amplify the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB1), and primer pairs fRPB2-5F and fRPB2-7CR (Liu et al. 1999) were used to amplify the second subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2). The translation elongation factor 1-α gene (TEF) was amplified with primer pairs EF1-983F and EF1-1567R (Rehner & Buckley 2005). Primer pairs Bt-1a and Bt-1b (Glass & Donaldson 1995) were used to amplify the β-tubulin gene (TUB). The primer LR7 (Vilgalys & Hester 1990) was used sometimes as an alternative to LR5; i2.2F and aCr (Binder et al. 2010) were used as alternatives to RPB1-Af and RPB1-Cr; RPB2-6F and bRPB2-7R (Liu et al. 1999) were sometimes used as alternatives to fRPB2-5F and fRPB2-7CR.
The final PCR volume was 30 μl; each tube contained 1 μl each primer, 1 μl extracted DNA, 12 μl ddH2O and 15 μl 2 × EasyTaq PCR Supermix (TransGen Biotech Co., Ltd., Beijing, China). PCRs were performed on S1000™ Thermal Cycler (Bio-Rad Laboratories, California, USA). The PCR procedure for ITS and TUB was: initial denaturation at 95 °C for 3 min, followed by 34 cycles of denaturation at 94 °C for 40 s, annealing at 54 °C for 45 s and extension at 72 °C for 1 min, and a final extension at 72 °C for 10 min. The PCR procedure for TEF was: initial denaturation at 95 °C for 3 min, followed by 34 cycles of denaturation at 94 °C for 40 s, annealing at 55 °C for 45 s and extension at 72 °C for 1 min, and a final extension at 72 °C for 10 min. The PCR procedure for nLSU was: initial denaturation at 94 °C for 1 min, followed by 34 cycles of denaturation at 94 °C for 30 s, annealing at 50 °C for 1 min and extension at 72 °C for 1.5 min, and a final extension at 72 °C for 10 min. The PCR procedure for RPB1 and RPB2 was an initial denaturation at 95 °C for 5 min, followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 95 °C for 1 min, annealing at 55 °C for 2 min and extension at 72 °C for 1.5 min, and a final extension at 72 °C for 10 min. The PCR products were purified and sequenced at the Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI), China, with the same primers. All sequences analysed in this study were deposited at GenBank and listed in Table 1.

Phylogenetic analyses
The sequences generated in this study and retrieved from GenBank were combined with ITS, nLSU, RPB1, RPB2, TEF and TUB sequences of Ganodermataceae and outgroups. Perenniporiella chaquenia and P. pendula were selected as outgroups following Costa-Rezende et al. (2016). The datasets were aligned in MAFFT 7 (Katoh & Toh 2008; https://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/server/) and manually adjusted in BioEdit (Hall 1999). Two combined matrixes were reconstructed for phylogenetic analyses as a 4-gene dataset (ITS+nLSU+RPB1+TEF) and a 6-gene dataset (ITS+nLSU+RPB1+RPB2+TEF+TUB); their congruences were evaluated with the partition homogeneity test (PHT) by PAUP* v. 4.0b10 (Swofford 2003) under 1 000 homogeneity replicates. The best-fit evolutionary model was selected by hierarchical likelihood ratio tests (hLRT) and Akaike information criterion (AIC) in MrModeltest2 v. 2.3 (Nylander 2008) after scoring 24 models of evolution by PAUP* v. 4.0b10. The maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI) analyses were performed based on the two datasets respectively. Settings for phylogenetic analyses followed Song & Cui (2017) and Zhu et al. (2019). ML researches were conducted with RAxML-HPC v. 8.2.3 (Stamatakis 2014) involved 1 000 ML searches under the GTRGAMMA model, and only the maximum likelihood best tree from all searches was kept. In addition, 1 000 rapid bootstrap replicates were run with the GTRCAT model to assess ML bootstrap values (ML) of the nodes. BI were performed using MrBayes v. 3.2 (Ronquist & Huelsenbeck 2003) with four simultaneous independent chains for two datasets, performing 10 million generations until the split deviation frequency value < 0.01, and sampled every 100th generation. The first 25 % sampled trees were discarded as burn-in, while the remaining ones were used to calculate Bayesian posterior probabilities (BPP) of the clades. The ML bootstrap (ML) ≥ 50 % and Bayesian posterior probabilities (BPP) ≥ 0.95 were presented on topologies from ML analyses, respectively. All trees were viewed in FigTree v. 1.4.3 (http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/figtree/). The final alignments and the retrieved topologies were deposited in TreeBASE (http://www.treebase.org), under accession ID: 24765 (http://purl.org/phylo/treebase/phylows/study/TB2:S24765).
RESULTS
Molecular phylogeny
In this study, 545 sequences derived from six gene loci (ITS, nLSU, RPB1, RPB2, TEF and TUB) were used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees of Ganodermataceae, 308 of them were newly generated, including 66 sequences of ITS, 69 of nLSU, 12 of RPB1, 57 of RPB2, 67 of TEF, and 37 of TUB. The phylogenetic reconstruction performed with maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) analyses for two combined datasets showed similar topology and few differences in statistical support. The partition homogeneity test indicated all the six different genes display a congruent phylogenetic signal (P value = 1.00). The best-fit evolutionary model selected by MrModeltest2 v. 2.3 for each region of six genes were HKY+I+G (ITS1), K80 (5.8S), HKY+I+G (ITS2), GTR+I+G (nLSU), HKY+G (RPB1 introns), F81 (RPB1 1st codon), GTR+G (RPB1 2nd codon), GTR+G (RPB1 3rd codon), SYM+G (RPB2 introns), K80+I+G (RPB2 1st codon), GTR+I+G (RPB2 2nd codon), GTR+I+G (TEF introns), HKY+I+G (TEF 1st codon), SYM+I+G (TEF 2nd codon), GTR+G (TEF 3rd codon) and HKY+I+G (TUB). These models were applied in Bayesian analyses for two combined datasets.
The combined 4-gene dataset (ITS+nLSU+RPB1+TEF) included sequences from 175 specimens representing 69 taxa of Ganodermataceae and Perenniporiella chaquenia and P. pendula as outgroups. The dataset had an aligned length of 3 354 characters, of which 2 366 were constant, 196 were variable and parsimony-uninformative, and 792 were parsimony-informative. The average standard deviation of split frequencies in the Bayesian analyses reached 0.008332. The calculated values based on the dataset are shown in Fig. 1. The clades obtained in this topology, besides the outgroup, were Amauroderma s.str. (86 % ML, 1.00 BPP), Foraminispora (83 % ML, 0.99 BPP), Furtadoa (99 % ML, 1.00 BPP), Ganoderma, Haddowia (100 % ML, 1.00 BPP), Humphreya, Magoderna (100 % ML, 1.00 BPP), Sanguinoderma (98 % ML, 1.00 BPP), Tomophagus (100 % ML, 1.00 BPP) and Trachyderma (100 % ML, 1.00 BPP).

The phylogenetic trees (Fig. 1, 2) show that the species of Amauroderma s.lat. are divided into four distinct clades:
The Amauroderma s.str. clade: All species in this clade were derived from neotropical areas, including A. aurantiacum, A. calcigenum, A. calcitum, A. camerarium, A. elegantissimum, A. exile, A. intermedium, A. laccatostipitatum, A. omphalodes, A. praetervisum, A. schomburgkii and A. subsessile.
The Foraminispora clade: Previously, only one species, Fo. rugosa, from the Neotropics was included in this clade. According to our study, one new species: Fo. yinggelingensis, and three new combinations: Fo. austrosinensis, Fo. concentrica and Fo. yunnanensis from East Asia are also included in this clade.
The Furtadoa clade: Two species: Fu. biseptata and Fu. brasiliensis from the Neotropics clustered in this clade.
The Sanguinoderma clade: The species in this clade were mainly found in warm temperate to subtropical or tropical regions of Asia, Africa and Oceania rather than the Neotropics. Until now, this clade included five new species: S. flavovirens, S. laceratum, S. microporum, S. reniforme and S. sinuosum; five new combinations: S. bataanense, S. elmerianum, S. perplexum, S. rude and S. rugosum; and one undetermined taxon: Sanguinoderma sp.

Type species. Amauroderma schomburgkii (Mont. & Berk.) Torrend, Brotéria, Sér. Bot. 18 (no. 2): 140. 1920.
Basidiomata annual, centrally or laterally stipitate to sessile or subsessile, coriaceous, corky to woody hard. Pileus single, fan-shaped, suborbicular or funnel-shape. Pileal surface in shades of dark brown, vinaceous brown to almost black, dull, glittery or laccate, glabrous to tomentose, concentrically zonate or furrowed. Pore surface pale white, yellowish brown, orange or brown when dry, colour unchanging when bruised; pores circular to angular. Context pale white, yellowish brown, pinkish brown, brown, corky. Hyphal system dimitic; generative hyphae colourless, with clamp connections, thin-walled; skeletal hyphae colourless to pale yellow to brown, thick-walled, arboriform. Basidiospores globose or ellipsoid to obovoid, colourless to pale yellow, double-walled, endospore wall smooth or ornamented, IKI– or dextrinoid.
Notes — So far, all species in Amauroderma s.str. are from the Neotropics and they are morphologically variable. The geographical distribution and the combination of morphological characteristics, such as a colour-unchanging pore surface when bruised, presence of skeletal hyphae in both context and tubes, basidiospores with solid columnar endospore ornamentation can be used to distinguish this genus from other genera of Amauroderma s.lat. Based on morphological characteristics, 24 species were included in Amauroderma s.str., of which 14 have DNA sequences. Amauroderma trichodematum presents a monomitic hyphal system and is probably related to Furtadoa (Robledo et al. 2015). Since this feature is not in accordance with the current circumscription of Amauroderma s.str., this species was not included in this key.

Basidiospores globose to ellipsoid, colourless to pale yellow, double and distinctly thick-walled, exospore wall uneven or foveolate, endospore wall with hollow and columnar spinules which persist until the exospore wall forming holes visible under SEM, IKI– or slightly dextrinoid, CB+.
Notes — Foraminispora was established by Costa-Rezende et al. (2017) and only Fo. rugosa from the Neotropics was included. In our current study, three taxa previously belonging to Amauroderma s.lat. and one new species grouped together with Fo. rugosa and formed the Foraminispora clade in both the 4-gene and 6-gene based phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 1, 2). All these five species share similar spore ultrastructural characters such as uneven exospore wall with holes causing by hollow and columnar spinules on endospore wall which are unique within Ganodermataceae (Fig. 3).

Notes — Amauroderma austrosinense was described from the tropical part of China (Zhao et al. 1984). It has the typical features such as white to straw colour pore surface when fresh and colour unchanging when bruised, cream context, hollow and columnar spinules on endospore wall which persist to the exospore wall forming the holes (Fig. 3a–b) that characterise Foraminispora (Costa-Rezende et al. 2017). In the phylogenetic analyses, A. austrosinense was shown as a distinct lineage in Foraminispora with high support (100 % ML, 1.00 BPP). Therefore, we transferred A. austrosinense to Foraminispora as a new combination.

Notes — Amauroderma concentricum is distributed in temperate and subtropical areas of China. Based on its typical features and phylogenetic support, we transfer A. concentricum to Foraminispora as a new combination. Foraminispora concentrica is similar to Fo. austrosinensis by the yellow brown and tomentose concentrically zonate pileal surface, white context and pore surface, but the pores (6–7 per mm) and basidiospores (7.2–8.5 × 6.7–8 μm) of Fo. austrosinensis are relatively smaller than Fo. concentrica; moreover, the basidiospores of Fo. concentrica are slightly dextrinoid, while Fo. austrosinensis has non-dextrinoid basidiospores.

Additional specimen (paratype) examined. China, Hainan Province, Baisha County, Yinggeling Nature Reserve, on ground of angiosperm forest, 17 Nov. 2015, B.K. Cui, Cui 13630 (BJFC).
Notes — Foraminispora yinggelingensis was collected from the tropical part of China. It is similar to Fo. austrosinensis in the umbelliform basidiomata, white to cream context and pore surface, and similar basidiospores, but the woody hard basidiomata, the absence of cystidioles and the slightly dextrinoid basidiospores of Fo. yinggelingensis make it different from Fo. austrosinensis. In phylogenetic analyses, these two species nested in two well-supported lineages (Fig. 1, 2).

Specimens examined. China, Yunnan Province, Xichou County, Xiaoqiaogou, on ground, 14 May 1959, Q.Z. Wang, HMAS 48231 (holotype, HMAS); Kunming, Qiongzhusi Park, on ground of angiosperm forest, 21 Oct. 2009, B.K. Cui, Cui 7974 (BJFC).
Notes — Foraminispora yunnanensis can be distinguished by large lacerate pores (2–3 per mm), occasionally fascicular tubes and broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid basidiospores. It is also consistent with Foraminispora in the unique ultrastructural characteristics of the exospore wall with obvious holes caused by hollow and columnar spinules on the endospore wall which persist to the exospore wall (Fig. 3g–h). In the phylogenetic analyses, Fo. yunnanensis was shown to be a distinct lineage in Foraminispora with high support (100 % ML, 1.00 BPP).
Furtadoa D.H. Costa, Robledo & Drechsler-Santos, Persoonia 39: 263. 2017 — MycoBank MB819014
Type species. Furtadoa biseptata D.H. Costa, Drechsler-Santos & Reck, Persoonia 39: 265. 2017.
Basidiomata annual, centrally to laterally stipitate, soft to corky. Pileus single, orbicular to flabelliform or infundibuliform. Pileal surface yellowish brown to greyish brown, dull, glabrous to tomentose, obviously concentrically zonate. Pore surface white to straw colour when dry; pores circular to angular; dissepiments thin to thick, entire to lacerate. Context yellow brown, with dark resinous lines, soft corky. Hyphae system monomitic to dimitic; context composed of clamped to simple-septate generative hyphae, thin- to slightly thick-walled; tubes composed of clamped generative hyphae and arboriform skeletal hyphae. Basidiospores subglobose to ellipsoid, colourless, double-walled with conspicuous endospore spinules, IKI–.
Notes — Furtadoa was established by Costa-Rezende et al. (2017) and all species (including Fu. biseptata, Fu. brasiliensis, Fu. corneri) have so far been found in the Neotropics. The genus is distinguished from the other genera in Amauroderma s.lat. by presenting a monomitic context. Based on the 4-gene and 6-gene phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 1, 2), we confirm the status of Fu. biseptata and Fu. brasiliensis. However, Gomes-Silva et al. (2015) considered that Amauroderma corneri was the synonymy of A. brasiliense according to the morphological features of funnel- to fan-shaped, soft basidiomata almost whitish when fresh, large pores (1–2 per mm) and non-dextrinoid basidiospores (8–10 × 7–9 μm). Therefore, we treated Fu. corneri as a synonymy of Fu. brasiliensis until molecular evidence is provided.

Sanguinoderma Y.F. Sun, D.H. Costa & B.K. Cui, gen. nov. — MycoBank MB828433
Etymology. Sanguinoderma (Lat.), refers to the genus producing Amauroderma-like basidiomata but with a fresh pore surface that changes to blood red when bruised.
Type species. Sanguinoderma rude (Berk.) Y.F. Sun, D.H. Costa & B.K. Cui.
Diagnosis. Sanguinoderma is characterized by basidiomata corky to woody hard, pileus dark, pore surface colour changing to blood red when bruised, basidiospores double-walled in which exospore wall semi-reticulate or vermiculate to verrucose, endospore wall with solid and columnar to coniform spinules under SEM.
Basidiomata annual, central or lateral stipitate to almost sessile, corky to woody hard. Pileus single, suborbicular to flatly reniform. Pileal surface dark brown to nearly black, dull, glabrous to tomentose, concentrically zonate or furrowed and radially rugose. Pore surface greyish white to dark grey when fresh, colour changing to blood red when bruised, then quickly darkening; pores circular to angular or irregular; dissepiments thin to thick, entire. Context pale brown to dark brown, with resinous lines, hard corky. Hyphal system trimitic; all hyphae IKI–, CB+; tissues darkening in KOH; generative hyphae colourless, thin-walled, with clamp connections; skeletal hyphae colourless to yellowish brown, thick-walled, arboriform branched and flexuous; binding hyphae colourless to pale yellow, subsolid, branched and flexuous. Basidiospores subglobose or ellipsoid to reniform, pale yellow, double and slightly to distinctly thick-walled, exospore wall semi-reticulate or vermiculate to verrucose, endospore wall with solid and columnar to coniform spinules under SEM, IKI–, CB+.
Notes — All examined specimens in Sanguinoderma were found in the Paleotropics and in Oceania. In the 4-gene and 6-gene based phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 1, 2) these species nested in eleven highly supported lineages. Sanguinoderma presents similar macro- and micro-morphology to Amauroderma s.str.; however, it can be distinguished by its conspicuous reaction in the pore surface, which rapidly changes to blood red when bruised. With the addition of morphological evidence, five new species are described and five new combinations are proposed and re-described. One taxon with insufficient morphological characters to separate it from other taxa is treated as Sanguinoderma sp.

Specimens examined. China, Hainan Province, Changjiang County, Bawangling Nature Reserve, on stump of Acmena acuminatissima, 9 May 2009, B.K. Cui, Cui 6496 (BJFC); on angiosperm stump, 9 May 2009, Y.C. Dai, Dai 10811 (BJFC); ibid., 10 May 2009, B.K. Cui, Cui 6554 (BJFC).
Notes — Amauroderma perplexum was described from Malaysia (Corner 1983). It can be mainly characterized by sessile to substipitate and woody hard basidiomata, clavate cystidioles and a vermiculate to semi-reticulate exospore wall with thick columnar endospore spinules (Fig. 8k–l). In addition, A. perplexum presents a pore surface that changes to blood red when bruised and is shown to be a distinct lineage in Sanguinoderma with high phylogenetic support (100 % ML, 1.00 BPP). Therefore, we transferred A. perplexum to Sanguinoderma. Sanguinoderma perplexum is similar to S. laceratum by sharing broadly ellipsoid basidiospores with slightly thick walls, but S. laceratum differs from S. perplexum by its thin and lacerate dissepiments and semi-reticulate exospore wall with slightly thin and coniform endospore spinules (Fig. 8g–h).

Notes — Amauroderma rude was described from Tasmania as Polyporus rudis (Berkeley 1839). We have examined the specimens collected from the type locality of Tasmania and mainland in Australia. It can be characterized by its big pores (1–4 per mm) with slightly thick and entire dissepiments, and alveolate to semi-reticulate exospore wall with small and deep pits (Fig. 8o–p). Amauroderma rude was shown as a distinct well-supported lineage in Sanguinoderma (Fig. 1, 2). Sanguinoderma rude is similar to S. perplexum by the subglobose to broadly ellipsoid basidiospores, but S. perplexum differs from S. rude by the woody hard basidiomata, small pores (5–6 per mm) with medially thick dissepiments and vermiculate to semi-reticulate exospore wall with long and thick endospore spinules (Fig. 8k–l). Amauroderma intermedium is quite similar to S. rude both in macro- and micro-morphology (Gomes-Silva et al. 2015), but it can be distinguished by its Neotropical distribution, darker context and colour-unchanging pore surface when bruised (Torrend 1920, Ryvarden 2004).

Notes — Amauroderma rugosum is a widespread species distributed in tropical and subtropical areas of South East Asia. It seems to be a species of difficult delimitation due to its great spectrum of morphologic variation (colour, texture and basidiospores size), exhibiting a broadly distribution (although some of the records are dubious), being one of the most cited Amauroderma species (Furtado 1981, Corner 1983). Based on its colour-changing pore surface when bruised and good phylogenetic support, it is proposed as a new combination in Sanguinoderma. It is similar to S. microporum in the dark brown pileal surface with obvious concentric furrows and radial wrinkles, but S. microporum differs from S. rugosum by the extremely thick dissepiments and slightly bigger basidiospores (11–12 × 8.7–9.8 μm) with long and thin endospore coniform spinules (Fig. 8i–j). The distinction between S. rugosum and S. rude is difficult, but the latter has a softer pileus and slightly larger spores (9.5–12.5 × 8–10.7 μm).

Notes — Sanguinoderma sinuosum was collected from Australia. It is characterized by its sinuate pores with thin dissepiments, large and broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid basidiospores. Sanguinoderma sinuosum is similar to S. rude by the dark brown and corky pileus with concentric furrows and radial wrinkles, but S. rude has subcircular pores with slightly thick dissepiments, and smaller basidiospores (9.5–12.5 × 8–10.7 μm) with short and slightly thick columnar endospore spinules (Fig. 8o–p). In the phylogenetic analyses, these two species nested in two lineages with good support (Fig. 1, 2).
DISCUSSION
Costa-Rezende et al. (2017) provided a phylogenetic analysis on Amauroderma s.lat. based on 4-gene sequences (ITS+nLSU+ TEF+RPB1) with main focus on samples from Neotropics and indicated that Amauroderma was polyphyletic. In the current study, taxonomic and phylogenetic analyses of Amauroderma s.lat. were carried out based on samples from Africa, Asia and Oceania and more gene markers (ITS+nLSU+TEF+RPB1+ RPB2+TUB). Our results also confirmed the polyphyly of Amauroderma and that species previously belonging to Amauroderma s.lat. are divided into four clades representing four genera: Amauroderma s.str., Foraminispora and Furtadoa, as already shown by Costa-Rezende et al. (2017), and the new genus Sanguinoderma. This division was also supported by morphology and ultrastructural features, and the classification system of Amauroderma s.lat. was revised. The distribution and main morphological differences of accepted genera in Amauroderma s.lat. are shown in Table 2. Besides the new genus, six new species and eight new combinations have been proposed and described.

Genus | Distribution | Pileal surface | Pore surface | Hyphal system | Shape of basidiospores | Ornamentation of basidiospores | References |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Sanguinoderma | Asia, South Africa and Oceania | dark brown to near black, dull, glabrous to tomentose | grey white to dark grey, colour changed to blood red when bruised | trimitic | subglobose or ellipsoid to reniform | exospore wall semi-reticulate or vermiculate to verrucose, endospore wall with solid and columnar to coniform spinules | present study |
The examination of fresh specimens previously classified in Amauroderma and some undescribed taxa showed the presence of a striking reaction on pore surface, which changes almost instantaneously to blood red when bruised, and then turns to a dark coloration. This reaction was already reported by Corner (1983) for A. atrum, A. perplexum and A. rugosum. The phylogenetic results showed that all the sampled species which present this reaction grouped together. Then, we proposed the genus Sanguinoderma to accommodate those species. Some macro-fungi present the amino acid tyrosine, which is enzymatically oxidized to a red intermediate and further to melanin and acts as a bioactive agent against microbes and harming substances (Halbwachs et al. 2016), which could be the case of Sanguinoderma species.
The new genus comprises the species from tropical Asia, Africa and Oceania. Sanguinoderma and Amauroderma s.str. share stipitate to almost sessile and corky to woody hard basidiomata, glabrous to tomentose and concentrically zonate or furrowed pileal surface and double-walled basidiospores. However, Sanguinoderma may be distinguished from Amauroderma s.str. by the fresh pore surface colour that changes to blood red when bruised. In addition, Amauroderma s.str. has a neotropical distribution (Gomes-Silva et al. 2015, Costa-Rezende et al. 2016, Costa-Rezende et al. 2017, Song et al. 2016), while Sanguinoderma is distributed in the Paleotropical region and Oceania.
The species in Amauroderma s.str. have a dull to laccate pileal surface, a fresh pore surface colour unchanging when bruised, a dimitic hyphal system and non-dextrinoid or dextrinoid basidiospores with solid endospore ornamentation (Ryvarden 2004, Gomes-Silva et al. 2015, Song et al. 2016, Costa-Rezende et al. 2017). Up to now, Foraminispora was considered as a monotypic genus, composed only by F. rugosa from Neotropics (Costa-Rezende et al. 2017). During the study of basidiospores ultrastructure of tropical and subtropical species previously classified in Amauroderma (A. austrosinense, A. concentricum and A. yunnanense) and one undescribed species, we observed that those species presented basidiospores with the typical morphology of Foraminispora. Besides that, those species grouped together with F. rugosa in our phylogenetic study. Thus, we propose here three new combinations and one new species for Foraminispora. All these five species are similar to Amauroderma s.str. species by stipitate and corky to woody hard basidiomata, fresh pore surface colour unchanging when bruised, similar hyphal system and non-truncate, double-walled, indextrinoid or dextrinoid basidiospores. But Foraminispora is unique on account of the globose to ellipsoid basidiospores with hollow and columnar endospore spinules, which persist to the exospore wall forming holes sometimes which can be viewed under SEM (Fig. 3). So far, Foraminispora is composed of five species, of which four are found in temperate or subtropical regions of East Asia and one in neotropical areas.
Furtadoa comprises two species from Neotropics, which have stipitate and fleshy basidiomata with a dull pileal surface, a fresh pore surface colour unchanging when bruised, and a monomitic context with both clamped and simple septate generative hyphae (Gomes-Silva et al. 2015, Costa-Rezende et al. 2017). Based on these features, Furtadoa can be easily distinguished from the other three genera.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) had been widely used in the taxonomy of Basidiomycota, such as Russulales (Lebel & Trappe 2000), Bondarzewia (Chen et al. 2016) and Phylloporus (Zeng et al. 2013). Costa-Rezende et al. (2017) established Foraminisprora based on its unique ultrastructural characters of the basidiospores, as mentioned above. In our study and in addition to the molecular analyses, the basidiospores of Foraminispora and Sanguinoderma were also scanned by SEM and we observed the ornamentations on the endospore and exospore walls of Sanguinoderma are quite different from those of Foraminispora. Spores of Sanguinoderma have a semi-reticulate or vermiculate to verrucose exospore wall and an endospore wall with solid and columnar to coniform spinules (Fig. 8). According to our observations and previous descriptions, we consider that SEM is a far more important taxonomic method in the identification of genera than species within Ganodermataceae.
