Perenniporia alboincarnata (Pat. & Gaillard) Decock & Ryvarden

[as ‘ albo-incarnata ’], Cryptog. Mycol. 32(1):14 (2011)

Remarks: Resupinate basidiomes with a whitish to faintly pinkish hymenial surface and small pores (5-8 per mm) distinguish this species from others in the genus ( Decock 2016). It can be mistaken as Perenniporia medullapanis (Jacq.) Donk due to its similar light-colored basidiomes ( Costa-Rezende et al. 2015). However, Decock and Ryvarden (2011) suggest using this name only for European specimens, and so all the collections previously identified as P. medullapanis in Brazil should be revised and placed into proper Neotropical taxa, such as P. alboincarnata and Perenniporia guyanensis Decock & Ryvarden. Therefore , even though this is a new citation for Brazil, we do not consider this a new record, since P. medullapanis had been previously registered for the Cerrado region ( Costa-Rezende et al. 2015). Thus, further studies should be made to fully understand the delimitation of this taxon within Brazil.

Ecology & Distribution: Growing on deciduous wood. Neotropical species, recorded from Costa Rica, Colombia and Venezuela ( Decock & Ryvarden 2011). In Brazil, it is known for the states of Bahia, Pará, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, São Paulo and Sergipe as Perenniporia medullapanis (Jacq.) Donk ( Flora do Brasil 2020). New record for Goiás.
