  • 1. Universidade Estadual de Goiás, Anápolis, Brazil

Description

Myriostoma Desv. is a genus of gasteroid fungi, distinguished from the other star-shaped fungi by the basidioma morphology with multiple pedicels and multi-stomata endoperidium. Studies based on phylogenetic, morphological characteristics and geographical distribution allowed the delimitation of five species in the genus. In Brazil, it is represented by M. calongei Baseia, Sousa & Martín, which distribution was restricted to South and Northeast regions. The present study describes the first records of Myriostoma in central Brazil, including Cerrado biome and Central-West region, thus expanding the known geographic distribution in the country.
