EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
The European Journal of Environmental Sciences offers a mixture of original peer-reviewed research papers, which bring you some of the most exciting developments in environmental sciences in the broadest sense, often with an inter- or trans-disciplinary perspective, focused on the European problems. The journal also includes critical reviews on topical issues, and overviews of the status of environmental protection in particular regions or countries. The journal covers a broad range of topics, including direct or indirect interactions between abiotic or biotic components of the environment, interactions of environment with human society, or environmental sustainability.

abstract

A total of 20 selected species of polypores recorded on the Canary Islands are characterized and commented. New biogeography and ecology data of polypores of Macaronesia are presented. Four species: Antrodiella fissiliformis, Diplomitoporus flavescens, Haploporus odorus and Skeletocutis albocremea are proposed for exclusion from the Canary Islands mycobiota. Several species are confirmed for the first time: Ceriporiopsis consobrina, Ceriporiopsis pseudogilvescens, Gloeophyllum cf. abietinum, Gloeophyllum trabeum, Perenniporia meridionalis, Porodaedalea sp., Sidera vulgaris. Two new genera of polypores, Gloeophyllum and Porodaedalea, are recorded as new for Canary Islands. The results are based on the review of herbarium specimens and field research.
