Grammothelopsis macrospora (Ryvarden) Jülich (1982)
|
Grammothelopsis is a fungal genus in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed in 1982 by Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich, with Grammothelopsis macrospora as the type species.[1]
Species of Grammothelopsis have fruit bodies that are effused-reflexed, meaning they are crust-like with a margin that is extended and bent backwards. The pores are shallow and irregular. The spores are large, thick-walled, and display a variable dextrinoid reaction to Melzer's reagent.[2]
Species
As of June 2017[update], Index Fungorum accepts seven species of Grammothelopsis:[3]
- Grammothelopsis asiatica Y.C.Dai & B.K.Cui (2011)[4] – China
- Grammothelopsis bambusicola Ryvarden & de Meijer (2002)[5] – Brazil
- Grammothelopsis incrustata A.David & Rajchenb. (1985)[6]
- Grammothelopsis macrospora (Ryvarden) Jülich (1982) – Africa
- Grammothelopsis neotropica Robledo & Ryvarden (2007)[7] – Peru
- Grammothelopsis puiggarii (Speg.) Rajchenb. & J.E.Wright (1987)[8]
- Grammothelopsis subtropica B.K.Cui & C.L.Zhao (2013)[2] – southern China
Grammothelopsis fungi occur mainly in tropical Africa and America, with two species reported from China.[2]
