Neocampanella, a new corticioid fungal genus, and a note on Dendrothele bispora

The new genus Neocampanella (Agaricales, Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) is established for Dentocorticium blastanos Boidin & Gilles, a crustose species, and the new combination, Neocampanella blastanos, is proposed. Morpho-logical and molecular studies support the recognition of the new genus and its close ties to Campanella, a pleurotoid aga-ric. The recently described Brunneocorticium is a monotypic, corticioid genus closely related to Campanella also. Brunneocorticium pyrifonne S.H. Wu is conspecific with Dendrothele bispora Burds. & Nakasone, and the new combina-tion, Brunneocorticium bisporum, is proposed. Resume: Les auteurs proposent Ie nouveau genre Neocampanella (Agaricales, Agaromycetes, Basidiomycetes, Basidio-mycota) etabli pour le Dentocorticium blastanos Boidin & Gilles, une espece resupinee ainsi que la nouvelle combinaison, Neocampanella blastanos. Les etudes morphologiques et moleculaires supportent la delimitation du nouveau genre, ainsi que ses etroites relations avec Campanella, un agaric pleurotoide, Le genre Brunneocorticium recemment decrit constitue une entire monotypique corticoide egalement apparentee au Neocampanella. Le Brunneocorticium pyriforme S.H. Wu est conspecifique au Dendrothele bispora Burds. & Nakasone pour lequel I' on propose la nouvelle combinaison B. bisporum.
