  • Phylogenetic and phenotypic characterization of Fomes fasciatus and Fomes fomentarius in the United States.
    Mycologia, 2013
    Co-Authors: Meghan A. Mccormick, L. F. Grand, Justin B. Post, Marc A. Cubeta
    Abstract:

    The wood-decay fungi Fomes fasciatus and F. fomentarius share many morphological characters that historically have made species delimitation challenging. We examined morphological, molecular and physiological characters of basidiomata and pure cultures of F. fasciatus and F. fomentarius sampled from multiple plant hosts and geographic regions in the United States to determine whether they support separation of the two species. We find that mean basidiospore size is significantly larger in F. fomentar- ius and represents the most informative morpholog- ical character for delineating the species. Basidiomata and pore-surface shape provided additional resolu- tion of the species, but these characters often overlap and are more variable than basidiospore size. Phylo- genetic analyses of ITS and RPB2 sequences suggest that F. fasciatus and F. fomentarius represent distinct evolutionary lineages. The two species share less than 88% maximum identity for the ITS region. Limited intraspecific sequence variation at each locus also was observed. In vitro experiments of hyphal-growth response to a wide range of temperatures support differences in physiology between the two species.

  • Geography and hosts of the wood decay fungi Fomes fasciatus and Fomes fomentarius in the United States
    North American Fungi, 2013
    Co-Authors: Meghan A. Mccormick, Marc A. Cubeta, L. F. Grand
    Abstract:

    Comprehensive United States county distribution maps of Fomes fasciatus and F. fomentarius were developed based on peer-reviewed publications, records from mycological herbaria and collections made for this study. The geographic distribution was expanded for both species to include a total of seven counties in five states not included in previous publications and records. North Carolina and Tennessee were the only states where both species occurred, but their distributions did not overlap when resolved to the county level. Both fungi occurred on a diverse range of hardwood tree hosts, and in this study, 11 and 17 new hosts associations were identified for F. fasciatus and F. fomentarius , respectively. The extension of host distributions beyond the known range for each fungus suggests that other delimiting factors may contribute to the distribution of F. fasciatus and F. fomentarius .
