Abstract

During a taxonomic study on Wrightoporia from South China, four species new to China were collected: W. cinnamomea, W. labyrinthina, W. ochrocrocea, and a new species described as W. biennis. Wrightoporia biennis is characterized by a biennial growth habit, non- to weakly dextrinoid and distinctly narrow skeletal hyphae, abundant thickwalled gloeoplerous hyphae, presence of thin-walled cystidia, and asperulate basidiospores. Illustrations and descriptions of these species are provided based on the Chinese materials.
