A contribution to Porogramme (Polyporaceae, Agaricomycetes) and related genera by Wei-Lin Mao, Ying-Da Wu, Hong-Gao Liu, Yuan Yuan, Yu-Cheng Dai

“…Two new genera, Cyanoporus and Pseudogrammothele, are established, and the six clades represent Porogramme , Cyanoporus , Grammothele, Epithele, Theleporus, and Pseudogrammothele, respectively. The molecular clock analyses estimate the divergence times of the six clades based on a dataset (ITS + LSU + TEF1 + RPB1 + RPB2), and we recognize the mean stem ages of the six genera are earlier than 50 Mya. …”

The saprotrophic Pleurotus ostreatus species complex: late Eocene origin in East Asia, multiple dispersal, and complex speciation by Jing Li, Li-Hong Han, Xiao-Bin Liu, Zhi-Wei Zhao, Zhu L. Yang

“…The P. ostreatus species complex was strongly supported as monophyletic, and 20 phylogenetic species were recognized, with seven putatively new species. Data from our molecular clock analyses suggested that divergence of the genus Pleurotus probably occurred in the late Jurassic, while the most recent common ancestor of the P. ostreatus species complex diversified about 39 Ma in East Asia. …”
