Panus fulvus* (Berk.) Pegler & R.W. Rayner, Kew Bull. 23(2):385 (1969)

Remarks: This species is characterized by a brown velutinous basidiome growing from a pseudosclerotium. It differs from Panus velutinus (Fr.) Sacc. by its shorter stipitate basidiomes and presence of bifurcated lamellae ( Corner 1981).

Ecology & Distribution: Growing on deciduous wood. Tropical. There is no record for Brazil because previous authors probably follow sensu Pegler (1983) for identifications, which considers Panus fulvus a synonymy of Panus velutinus . Therefore, considering recent discoveries that reinforce P. fulvus as a distinctive species, we consider this a new record from the Cerrado region and suggest an in-depth analysis of the materials identified as P. velutinus .

Specimen Examined: BRAZIL, TOCANTINS, Itaguatins, Fazenda Prof.ª Neusa, 5°44’45.2” S, 47°33’46.1” W, 26.IX.2018, M. Palacio 381 (ICN202096).
