Morphological characterization and distribution of four corticioid fungi species (Basidiomycota) in India.

During the fungal forays conducted in Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh (India) several specimens of corticioid fungi were collected. Based on morphological characterization, these fungi have been identified as Aphanobasidium pseudotsugae, Cytidiella albida, C. nitidula, and Phlebia viridesalebrosum. These four species are new additions to the Indian mycobiota. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
