Guzmán-Dávalos, Laura. Type studies of Gymnopilus (Agaricales) I.   Mycotaxon 86: 395 - 423. 2003.

ABSTRACT: As part of monographic and phylogenetic studies of the genus by the author, a complete revision of the nomenclatural type specimens of the basionyms of Gymnopilus was initiated. New characters not previously considered in the descriptions, as subhymenium type and metachromicity of the spores are included. Here 22 types are reviewed, from ENCB, FLAS, IBUG, K, MICH, MP, NY, SFSC, TENN and XAL. Original descriptions are emended in many cases and two species names are placed in synonymy.

KEYWORDS: taxonomy, subhymenium, metachromicity
