Description:
Amauroderma s.lat. has been defined mainly by the morphological features of non-truncate and doublewalled 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
\nobservations, and molecular phylogenetic analyses of multiple loci including the internal transcribed spacer regions
\n(ITS), the large subunit of nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (nLSU), the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB1)
\nand the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2), the translation elongation factor 1-\xce\xb1 gene (TEF) and
\nthe \xce\xb2-tubulin gene (TUB). The results demonstrate that species of Ganodermataceae formed ten clades. Species
\npreviously placed in Amauroderma s.lat. are divided into four clades: Amauroderma s.str., Foraminispora, Furtadoa
\nand a new genus Sanguinoderma. The classification of Amauroderma s.lat. is thus revised, six new species are
\ndescribed 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
\ndiscussed. Keys to species of Amauroderma s.str., Foraminispora, Furtadoa, and Sanguinoderma are also provided.
