Syzygospora lapponica sp. nova (Syzygosporaceae, Heterobasidiomycetes) from Finland

Heikki Kotiranta, Otto Miettinen

Abstract


A new Syzygospora species from Finland, S. lapponica is described and illustrated. The hitherto collections derive from Finnish Lapland and the species is apparently a mycoparasite of the rare old-growth forest dwelling polypore Antrodia infirma. The new species deviates from other species in the genus in having cylindrical, slightly bent spores and having a polypore as the host.
