Abstract

The genus Tomophagus belongs to the order Polyporales and is enriched with only two species, Tomophagus cattienensis X.T. Le & Moncalvo and Tomophagus colossus (Fr.) Murrill with very limited distribution. Tomophagus cattienensis was originally described from Cat Tien National Park, Vietnam and later reported from Pakistan. To date, there was no report of the occurrence of T. cattienensis from India. Here, we report T. cattienensis as a new addition to the macro-fungal flora of India. Morpho-taxonomic and nrDNA ITS-based phylogenetic analyses identify this taxon. Detailed morphological characterization, field images, microscopic structure line drawings, and comparisons with associated taxa are provided.
