Abstract
Twenty-eight corticioid basidiomycete species are reported from Uruguay for the first time. An annotated checklist with 110 species of corticioid
Basidiomycota recorded from Uruguay is presented based on these new records and an intensive literature search. These species are distributed in 49 genera and 10 orders. The order
Polyporales is represented by the most species (40) and the genus
Phanerochaete has the most species (11).
Hjortstamia fuscomarginata, Hyphoderma rimosum, Phlebia lividina, and
P. subserialis are recorded for the first time from South America. For the complete checklist see http://www.mycotaxon.com/resources/weblists.html.
