CD77041DA10A5D038D65CDFB6FD55A12.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Ganoderma mexicurtisii is similar to G. curtisii but distinguished by a generally paler yellowish pileus and clavate cuticular cells, apically branched or with protuberances and spheroid diverticula, slightly to strongly amyloid.	en	Cabarroi-Hernández, Milay, Decock, Cony, Guzmán-Dávalos, Laura, Torres-Torres, Mabel Gisela, Robledo, Gerardo Lucio, Villalobos-Arámbula, Alma Rosa, Martínez-Velázquez, Zurizadai, Ramírez-Cruz, Virginia, Amalfi, Mario (2025): The Ganoderma curtisii lineage (Basidiomycota, Polyporaceae) in the Neotropics: Ganoderma mexicurtisii sp. nov. from pine-oak forests in Mexico.

CD77041DA10A5D038D65CDFB6FD55A12.taxon	description	Description. Basidiome stipitate, solitary, sometimes scattered, rarely two from the same base, spongy when fresh, light in weight. Pileus dimidiate, conchate in pole view, rarely circular, convex or applanate in section, projecting 4 – 9 cm, 5 – 15 cm wide; pileal surface laccate to dull, smooth, rugose or with concentric deep sulcations, pale yellow (4 A 3, 4 A 6), deep yellow (4 A 8), yellowish – orange (5 B 8), yellow – brown (5 C 8) to brown – violet (11 F 8), generally darker near the union with the stipe, peeling off very easily, exposing the context; margin regular to slightly lobulated, sometimes incurved, white to pale yellow (4 A 3) to light brown (7 E 8). Stipe mostly mesopodal, occasionally pleuropodal, mainly orthopleuropodal, occasionally plagiopleuropodal, or rarely dorsally lateral, cylindrical, straight or bended to tortuous, 2.5 – 27 × 1 – 5 cm, uniform, slightly swollen or attenuate at the base, laccate, brown – violet (11 F 8), golden – yellow (4 A 4, 5 B 8), concolor with the pileus to pale yellow (3 A 3). Pore surface pale yellow (2 A 3) when fresh, pale yellow (3 A 3) to golden – yellow (4 A 4, 5 B 8) on drying, staining brown (6 D 8) when bruised; pores angular, occasionally round, 2 – 4 (– 5) per mm; dissepiments conspicuous. Context duplex, with a spongy consistency, slightly fibrous texture, 0.7 – 2 (– 4) cm thick, pale to light orange (5 A 3 – 5 A 4) next to the crust, and brown – sienna (6 D 7) to rarely yellow – brown (6 F 8) above the tubes, with few to several (up to 4) longitudinal, pale to brown, resinous bands, azonate. Tubes 3 – 10 mm deep, without stratification, rarely stratified, brown – violet (8 E 4). Hyphal system dimitic; generative hyphae 3 – 3.5 μm diam., septate, with clamp connections, thin – walled, hyaline to yellowish, difficult to observe; skeleto – binding hyphae with an arboriform pattern, pale golden – yellow, tortuous, sometimes with some protuberances, golden – yellow, thick – walled, composed of a basal stalk arising from a clamp, with apical processes, the branches gradually tapering from 3.2 – 4 μm wide at primary processes to 2.4 – 3.2 μm wide at thin – walled apices in an area above the tubes, and from 4 – 6 μm wide at primary processes to 3 – 4 μm wide at the thin – walled apices with some moniliform hyphae (7 – 11 µm diam.) below the crust. Pileipellis a crustohymeniderm; cuticular cells mostly clavate, lumen widely open, in the lighter zone of the pileus, thin – walled, 0 – 3 protuberances, with several or non spheroid diverticula, slightly amyloid to almost black in mass, and in the darker zone of the pileus clavate, with no or ≤ 4 irregular long branches, rarely the clavate form lost, thick – walled, strongly amyloid, 43 – 96 × 7.2 – 16.5 µm. Basidia pyriform, with four sterigmata, ~ 20 × 7.2 μm. Basidiospores oblong to ellipsoid, with an apical conical umbo often collapsed, then appearing truncate, double – walled, the inner wall thick, pale yellowish, with thick, subfree pillars, (9.2 –) 10.5 – 12.8 (– 13.5) × 5.5 – 8.0 µm, Q = 1.44 – 1.88. Chlamydospores not observed.	en	Cabarroi-Hernández, Milay, Decock, Cony, Guzmán-Dávalos, Laura, Torres-Torres, Mabel Gisela, Robledo, Gerardo Lucio, Villalobos-Arámbula, Alma Rosa, Martínez-Velázquez, Zurizadai, Ramírez-Cruz, Virginia, Amalfi, Mario (2025): The Ganoderma curtisii lineage (Basidiomycota, Polyporaceae) in the Neotropics: Ganoderma mexicurtisii sp. nov. from pine-oak forests in Mexico.
