Perenniporiella tepeitensis * (Murrill) Decock & R. Valenz., Cryptog. Mycol. 31(4):424 (2010)

Remarks: This specimen represents the first record of the genus for the Cerrado region and the first of the species for Brazil. Identification was difficult due to its mixed characteristics between three phylogenetically related species known only from their type locations; Perenniporiella chaquenia , Perenniporiella pendula and P. tepeitensis ( Decock et al. 2010) . We prefer using the last one because of its broader distribution and for the resupinate to effused-reflexed basidiomes, which are not common for this group ( Decock et al. 2010). More studies should be made to understand the actual delimitation of this exclusively Neotropical group ( Decock & Ryvarden 2003).

Ecology & Distribution: Growing on deciduous wood. Known from Costa Rica, México and United States ( Decock et al. 2010, Ryvarden 2016). First record for the Cerrado region and for Brazil.
