Molecular phylogenetic analyses redefine seven major clades and reveal 22 new generic clades in the fungal family Boletaceae
2014
Overview
Mushrooms in the basidiomycete family
Boletaceae
are ecologically and economically very important. However, due to the morphological complexity and the limited phylogenetic information on the various species and genera of this fungal family, our understanding of its systematics and evolution remains rudimentary. In this study, DNA sequences of four genes (nrLSU,
tef1
-α,
rpb1
, and
rpb2
) were newly obtained from ca. 200 representative specimens of
Boletaceae
. Our phylogenetic analyses revealed seven major clades at the subfamily level, namely
Austroboletoideae
,
Boletoideae
,
Chalciporoideae
,
Leccinoideae
,
Xerocomoideae
,
Zangioideae
, and the
Pulveroboletus
Group. In addition, 59 genus-level clades were identified, of which 22 were uncovered for the first time. These 22 clades were mainly placed in
Boletoideae
and the
Pulveroboletus
Group. The results further indicated that the characters frequently used in the morphology-based taxonomy of
Boletaceae
, such as basidiospore ornamentation, the form of the basidioma, and the stuffed pores each had multiple origins within the family, suggesting that the use of such features for high-level classification of
Boletaceae
should be de-emphasized and combined with other characters.
