Taxonomy of the major rhizomorphic species of the "Melanopus group" within Polyporaceae in Yasuní National Park, Ecuador.

Yasuní National Park in Ecuador is one of the most biodiverse places on earth. The fungi in this tropical rainforest are also diverse but have received little research attention. This research paper focuses on an important group of fungi in the family Polyporaceae and examines the genera Polyporus,...
