title: Parenthesome structure of some corticioid fungi.
abstract: The parenthesome structure of seven corticioid species, traditionally referred to the family Corticiaceae (Basidiomycota), were studied in order to better understand their taxonomic position: Phanerochaete velutina, Phlebia radiata, P. rufa, Rhizochaete americana (syn. Ceraceomyces americana), R. brunnea, R. filamentosa (syn. Phanerochaete filamentosa) and R. radicata (syn. Phanerochaete radicata). All possessed the perforate type of parenthesome that is commonly encountered in homobasidiomycetes. This feature excludes the above taxa from both the hymenochaetoid and the cantharelloid clades which are the only groups that have imperforate parenthesomes in the homobasidiomycetes.
