| Title : | NOTEWORTHY POLYPORES OF PUSHKIN CITY NEAR THE SAINT PETERSBURG (RUSSIA), THE RESERVE OF OLD-GROWTH TREES. 2. CERIOPORUS VARIUS AND C. LEPTOCEPHALUS |
| Abstract : | The paper continues a series focused on noteworthy polypores associated presumably with old-growth broadleaf trees in Pushkin (Tsarskoye Selo) ensemble near St. Petersburg. Some nemoral species complexes are reserved here due to protection of old-growth trees over this area. The species in focus of the present paper are Cerioporus (Polyporus) varius and its sib, C. leptocephalus (Polyporaceae, Agaricomycetes), both widely distributed in deciduous and mixed forests, but associated mainly with old trees and stumps. These are closely related species differing by morphogenetic features. Five habitats of C. varius and four habitats of C. leptocephalus were revealed in the Pushkin city. All these are documented, and an enlarged morphological and ecological description of both species is given. The rare form C. varius f. circumpurpurascens was epitypified and re-combined in the genus Cerioporus. |
