Abstract

Antrodia taxa sp. nov. and Perenniporia celtis sp. nov. found growing saprotrophically on the decayed stems of Taxus mairei and Celtis sinensis, respectively, in Taiwan, are described and illustrated. A. taxa is distinguished by effused-reflexed to pileate basidiomes and small oblong ellipsoid basidiospores 4×2·5 μm. P. celtis is characterized by large, subglobose to tear-shaped, non-truncate basidiospores 8·5–10×5–7 μm and encrusted cystidia. Cultural characteristics are described for the two species.
