Abstract
Species of
Radulomyces (
Radulomycetaceae, Agaricales) with spines were studied by morphological and molecular methods. Phylogenetic analyses and morphological studies show that
Radulomyces paumanokensis is a later synonym of
Radulomyces copelandii and that
Radulomyces licentii is a distinct taxon. Based on morphologic and molecular data, the new genus
Noblesia (
Meruliaceae, Polyporales) is proposed to accommodate
Sistotrema croceum and
Peniophora femsjoeensis.
Sarcodontia is emended and restricted to three species with 13 taxa excluded from the genus. For many years,
Sarcodontia crocea was based on an erroneous concept of
Sistotrema croceum. The correct name for the taxon with striking yellow spines found on
Malus and
Pyrus in Europe is
Sarcodontia setosa; its North American sister species is
Sarcodontia amplissima comb. nov. Hydnum sulphureum is a synonym of
Sarcodontia uda, and
Acia flava is a later synonym of
Xylodon quercinus. Species excluded from
Sarcodontia are discussed, and the new combination
Hyalodon sibirica is proposed.
