LOS POLIPORÁCEOS DE MÉXICO V. ALGUNAS ESPECIES DEL NORTE DEL ESTADO DE QUERÉTARO

Abstract

A project was undertaken between 1993 and
1997 to collect polypores in the northern part
of the state of Queretaro. Besides making 10
field trips, we studied specimens of polypores
deposited in the mycological herbarium of the
Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Biológicas, IPN
(ENCB). A list of 440 specimens originating
from 45 localities is presented. Eighty-five
species of polypores were recognized,
belonging to 45 genera and 5 families of the
Order Aphyllophorales. The Family
Corticiaceae is represented by one genus and
one species; Ganodermataceae, by two genera
and four species; Hymenochaetaceae, six
genera and 21 species; Polyporaceae sensu
stricto, 35 genera and 58 species; and
Albatrellaceae, one genus and one species. Fifty
species of polypores are cited as new to Queretaro.
