Taiwanofungus
Genus of fungi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taiwanofungus is a fungal genus of unknown familial placement in the order Polyporales. The genus contains two species: the type, Taiwanofungus camphoratus, and T. salmoneus. Taiwanofungus was circumscribed by Taiwanese mycologists in 2004.[1] T. camphoratus is a medicinal fungus that is found in Taiwan, where it grows on the endemic tree species Cinnamomum kanehirae. It was first described in 1990 by Mu Zang and Ching-Hua Su as a species of Ganoderma.[2] T. salmoneus, originally placed in Antrodia, was validly added to the genus in 2012.[3]
