Taxonomy
Polyporus linteus was named by Miles Joseph Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis and first reported with specimen from Nicaragua in 1860.[3] Phellinus linteus was a rename by Shu Chün Teng in 1963.[4] It was renamed Tropicoporus linteus by Li-Wei Zhou and Yu-Cheng Dai in 2015.[2]
The following mushrooms are applied with the name Phellinus linteus:
Americas
- Phellinus linteus per se, the tropical American species, now Tropicoporus linteus
- In subtropical South America, Phellinus linteus on Cordia americana is actually Tropicoporus drechsleri; specimens collected on other plant hosts require further studies.[5]
Asia
Africa
- Xanthochrous rudis, an African species formerly regarded as a synonym of Phellinus linteus, regained taxon independency and was renamed Tropicoporus rudis.[2]
