Ks. Ko et Hs. Jung, Phylogenetic re-evaluation of Trametes consors based on mitochondrial small subunit ribosomal DNA sequences, FEMS MICROB, 170(1), 1999, pp. 181-186
Mitochondrial small subunit ribosomal DNAs of Cerrena unicolor and Trametes
consors were sequenced and compared with those of known mushroom taxa. Tra
metes consors is a species recently transferred from Irpex, and Cerrena is
a genus closely related to Trametes. The present phylogenetic tree showed t
hat Cerrena unicolor and Trametes consors clustered together and made an in
dependent lineage from the Trametes group. A new combination, Cerrena conso
rs (Berk.) Ko and Jung, comb. nov., is proposed here by transferring Tramet
es consors into Cerrena based on molecular data along with taxonomic eviden
