title: Cerrena aurantiopora sp. nov. (Polyporaceae) from eastern Asia.
abstract: A new species of polypore in genus Cerrena was discovered in Kangwon Province, Korea. The resupinate basidiocarp and light orange, poroid hymenophore were sufficiently different to be distinguished from previously recorded species of Cerrena, C. consors, C. cystidiata, C. sclerodepsis and C. unicolor. Based on the results of morphological and phylogenetic analyses, we propose this new polypore as Cerrena aurantiopora sp. nov.
