Revison of of some Australasian taxa of Perenniporia (Basidiomycetes, Aphyllophorales)

The type specimens of Perenniporia clelandii (Lloyd) Ryvarden, Perenniporia subcretacea (Lloyd) Ryvarden, Perenniporia subaurantiaca (Rodw. & Clel.) P . K. Buchanan & Ryvarden, Perenniporia oviformis G. Cunn. ex P. K. Buchanan & Ryvarden, and Perenniporia podocarpi P. K. Buchanan & Hood, all original ly described from Australasia, as well as of Perenniporia clelandii (Lloyd) Ryvarden var. subrosea Corner and Perenniporia oviformis (G. Cunn.) Corner var. borneensis Corner, both described from South-east Asia, were re-exami ned. Perenniporia clelandii, P. subaurantiaca and P. oviformis are accepted in Perenniporia. Corner's concept of P. clelandii was confused and his rep orts of this species are based on a different taxon. Separation of the vari ety P. oviformis var. borneensis is rejected. Perenniporia podocarpi is mai ntained in Perenniporia although with doubts. Its taxonomic position is dis cussed, in comparison with Phaeotrametes decipiens (Berk.) Wright. Perennip oria cunninghamii is described as new. Perenniporia subcretacea is excluded from Perenniporia, and transferred to Spongipellis. Perenniporia clelandii , P. subaurantiaca, P. oviformis, P. podocarpi and Spongipellis subcretaceu s are redescribed and illustrated.
