| During the investigation of wood decay fungi in Fuzhou city and Quanzhou, Xiamen and Zhangzhou city of
Southern Fujian, six Trametes species, totally 19 specimens, were obtained. All the six species could be found in Fuzhou
city. Trametes versicolor, T. hirsuta and T. sanguinea were found common in the investigated areas and could be found in
at least two investigated areas. Based on the previous studies on Trametes in Fujian province, ITS sequences of the related
species from GenBank, together with the 19 ITS sequences obtained in this study, were analyzed for phylogeny with the use
of PAUP 4.0, MrModeltest, MrBayes, Treeview and other softwares. Most of sequences for the 17 Trametes species formed
separate clusters. But the relationships among them were not clear and needed further investigation. As Trametes species in
Fujian province are diverse, accounting for more than 60% of known Trametes species in China, to facilitate the
identification of Fujian Trametes species in the future, an identification key based on morphology (color, odor of fruiting
body, pileus morphology, pore shape and number, basidia size, etc) for the total 21 known Fujian Trametes species was
made. |
