Abstract

Five species of the Phellinus igniarius group were characterized by pairing tests and RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) data of enzymatically amplified rDNA. There was good agreement between pairing tests and RFLP data of the chosen rDNA region; together these characters provide a valuable tool for identification of taxa. Phellinus igniarius is restricted to species of Salix; P. alni occurs on numerous substrata with the exception of Salix; P. cinereus is restricted to Betula and Tilia. The status of P. nigricans is uncertain; available collections originate from Betula. Phellinus populicola, occurring on Populus, was confirmed as species. Phellinus trivialis is not a separate species and specimens referred to this taxon may belong to both P. igniarius and P. alni. Except for P. nigricans intersterility between taxa is complete. Phellinus nigricans is partly positive in pairings with P. alni, and, in one case, with P. cinereus. If restriction. data for the five used restriction enzymes are pooled, four of the five taxa show specific phenotypes. Phellinus nigricans is identical with P. alni. The new combination Phellinus cinereus is made.
