Abstract

:
Three wood-inhabiting fungal species, Xylodon laceratus, X. montanus, and X. tropicus spp. nov., were collected from southern China, here proposed as new taxa based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. Xylodon laceratus is characterized by the resupinate basidiomata with grandinioid hymenophore having cracked hymenial surface, and ellipsoid basidiospores; X. montanus is characterized by the annual basidiomata having the hard, brittle hymenophore with cream hymenial surface, and ellipsoid to broadly ellipsoid basidiospores (3.9–5.3 × 3.2–4.3 µm); and X. tropicus is characterized by its grandinioid hymenophore with buff to a pale brown hymenial surface and subglobose basidiospores measuring 2–4.8 × 1.6–4 µm. Sequences of ITS and nLSU rRNA markers of the studied samples were generated, and phylogenetic analyses were performed with maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony, and Bayesian inference methods. The ITS+nLSU analysis of the order Hymenochaetales indicated that the three new species clustered into the family Schizoporaceae, located in genus Xylodon; based on further analysis of ITS dataset, X. laceratus was a sister to X. heterocystidiatus; X. montanus closely grouped with X. subclavatus and X. xinpingensis with high support; while X. tropicus was retrieved as a sister to X. hastifer.

1. Introduction

Wood-inhabiting fungi are noteworthy components of woody plant ecosystems and take an active part in the decomposition and turnover of nutrients from wood, in which the corticioid fungi are one of the major groups of wood-inhabiting Basidiomycota [1]. Hymenochaetales is one of the most important orders in Basidiomycota because many species in this order are medicinal fungi, and some of them are forest pathogens [2]. Within Hymenochaetales, commonly accepted families Chaetoporellaceae, Coltriciaceae, Hymenochaetaceae, Hyphodontiaceae, Neoantrodiellaceae, Nigrofomitaceae, Oxyporaceae, and Schizoporaceae are supported as individual monophyletic lineages [3]. Schizoporaceae was introduced by Walter Jülich with Schizopora Velen. as the type genus and included the other three genera Fibriciellum J. Erikss. & Ryvarden, Fibricium J. Erikss. and Fibrodontia Parmasto [4].
The genus Xylodon (Pers.) Gray (Schizoporaceae, Hymenochaetales), with the generic type X. quercinus (Pers.) Gray is characterized by the basidiomata having a smooth, tuberculate, grandinioid, odontioid, coralloid, irpicoid or poroid hymenophore, and a monomitic, pseudodimitic or dimitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae and mostly presence of 1 to 3 types cystidia, negative in Melzer’s reagent; barreled clavate or suburniform basidia, and globose to ellipsoid to cylindrical basidiospores, additionally causing a white rot [5,6]. It is the largest segregate genus of Hyphodontia J. Erikss. s.l. (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) based on the MycoBank database (http://www.MycoBank.org, accessed on 30 November 2021) and the Index Fungorum (http://www.indexfungorum.org, accessed on 30 November 2021), both have registered 206 specific and infraspecific names in Xylodon, but the actual number of species reaches eighty-six [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32].
The researches of Xylodon based on molecular systematics are coming to light from genomic analyses and environmental DNA surveys [33]. Species diversity of Hyphodontia sensu lato has been systematically surveyed in Europe for the last several decades, in which almost all taxonomic studies did not try to address the taxonomic status of species of Hyphodontia sensu lato at the family level, including the most important monograph “Die Gattung Hyphodontia John Eriksson” [14]. Hyphodontia s.l. could be split into 13 genera, of which the most species-rich ones are Xylodon and Kneiffiella P. Karst. However, due to a lack of rDNA sequences for many taxa, the molecular grounds were not enough to define separate genera clearly. Therefore the mycologists adopted a broad concept of Hyphodontia s.l. [25]. Molecular phylogeny analyses were performed by maximum parsimony and Bayesian methods, in which the phylograms from both analyses confirmed that the taxa from genera of Xylodon, Schizopora, Palifer Stalpers & P.K. Buchanan, Lyomyces P. Karst. and Rogersella Liberta & A.J. Navas were mixed within Xylodon-Lyomyces-Rogersella clade and Xylodon-Schizopora-Palifer clade [34]. Based on the morphological and/or phylogenetic information on Hyphodontia s.l., it was hard to differentiate between the genera Xylodon and Schizopora, with neither morphological nor molecular data and proposed that both genera should be united in one genus [22]. Used sequences from the ITS and nuclear LSU regions to infer the phylogenetic position of the Xylodon, confirmed Lagarobasidium Jülich as a synonym of Xylodon, in which three species X. magnificus (Gresl. & Rajchenb.) K.H. Larss., X. pumilius (Gresl. & Rajchenb.) K.H. Larss., and X. rickii (Gresl. & Rajchenb.) K.H. Larss. were transferred into Xylodon from Lagarobasidium [27]. Phylogenetic analyses of ITS and 28S sequences revealed that Palifer and Odontiopsis Hjortstam & Ryvarden should be synonymized under Xylodon and proposed four species new to science as X. exilis Yurchenko, Riebesehl & Langer, X. filicinus Yurchenko & Riebesehl, X. follis Riebesehl, Yurchenko & Langer, and X. pseudolanatus Nakasone, Yurchenko & Riebesehl [31]. The comprehensive phylogenetic analyses on the basis of multiple loci on Hyphodontia s.l. showed that the six genera were separated into four clades within Hymenochaetales, in which Fasciodontia Yurchenko & Riebesehl, Lyomyces, and Xylodon were accepted as members of a previously known family Schizoporaceae [3]. Maximum parsimony strict consensus tree illustrating the phylogeny of Xylodon species based on ITS sequences showed that X. gossypinus C.L. Zhao & K.Y. Luo grouped with X. brevisetus (P. Karst.) Hjortstam & Ryvarden, and X. macrosporus C.L. Zhao & K.Y. Luo was sister to X. follis and X. sinensis C.L. Zhao & K.Y. Luo formed two sister groups to X. attenuatus Spirin & Viner and X. yarraensis Xue W. Wang & L.W. Zhou with very low supports [32].
During investigations on wood-decaying fungi in southern China, three additional Xylodon taxa were found, which could not be assigned to any described species. The present study examines the taxonomy and phylogeny of the three new species within Xylodon. The current study focuses on the phylogenetic and taxonomic study of Xylodon, based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the large subunit nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (nLSU) sequences.

2. Materials and Methods

2.1. Sample Collection

Fresh fruiting bodies of the fungi were collected from the Dali, Puer, Wenshan, Yuxi of Yunnan Province, P.R. China. The dried specimens were dried in an electric food dehydrator at 40 °C, then sealed and stored in an envelope bag and deposited in the herbarium of the Southwest Forestry University (SWFC), Kunming, Yunnan Province, P.R. China.

2.2. Morphology

Macromorphological descriptions are based on field notes and photos captured in the field and lab. Color terminology follows Petersen [35]. Micromorphological data were obtained from the dried specimens after the observation under a light microscope with a magnification 10 × 100 oil [17]. The following abbreviations were used: KOH = 5% potassium hydroxide water solution, CB– = acyanophilous, IKI– = both inamyloid and indextrinoid, L = mean spore length (arithmetic average for all spores), W = mean spore width (arithmetic average for all spores), Q = variation in the L/W ratios between the specimens studied, and n = a/b (number of spores (a) measured from given number (b) of specimens).

2.3. Molecular Phylogeny

The CTAB rapid plant genome extraction kit-DN14 (Aidlab Biotechnologies Co., Ltd., Beijing, P.R. China) was used to obtain genomic DNA from the dried specimens using the manufacturer’s instructions. The nuclear ribosomal ITS region was amplified with primers ITS5 and ITS4 [36]. The nuclear nLSU region was amplified with primer pair LR0R and LR7 (http://lutzonilab.org/nuclear-ribosomal-dna/, accessed on 5 November 2021). The PCR procedure for ITS was as follows: initial denaturation at 95 °C for 3 min, followed by 35 cycles at 94 °C for 40 s, 58 °C for 45 s and 72 °C for 1 min, and a final extension of 72 °C for 10 min. The PCR procedure for nLSU was as follows: initial denaturation at 94 °C for 1 min, followed by 35 cycles at 94 °C for 30 s, 48 °C for 1 min and 72 °C for 1.5 min, and a final extension of 72 °C for 10 min. The PCR products were purified and sequenced at Kunming Tsingke Biological Technology Limited Company (Yunnan Province, P.R. China). All newly generated sequences were deposited in NCBI GenBank (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/, accessed on 20 October 2021) (Table 1).
The sequences were aligned in MAFFT 7 (https://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/server/, accessed on 5 November 2021) using the “G-INS-i” strategy for the ITS and ITS+nLSU dataset. The alignment was adjusted manually using BioEdit [48]. The dataset was aligned first, and then ITS and nLSU sequences were combined with Mesquite version 3.51. Alignment datasets were deposited in TreeBASE (submission ID 29060). ITS + nLSU sequences and ITS-only datasets were used to infer the position of the three new species among Xylodon and related taxa. Sequences of Hymenochaete cinnamomea (Pers.) Bres. and H. rubiginosa (Dicks.) Lév. retrieved from GenBank were used as an outgroup in the ITS+nLSU analysis (Figure 1); sequences of Lyomyces mascarensis Riebesehl, Yurchenko & Langer, and L. sambuca (Pers.) P. Karst. retrieved from GenBank were used as an outgroup in the ITS-only analysis (Figure 2) [3].
Maximum parsimony (MP), maximum likelihood (ML), and Bayesian inference (BI) analyses were applied to the combined three datasets following a previous study [49], and the tree construction procedure was performed in PAUP* version 4.0b10 [50]. All characters were equally weighted, and gaps were treated as missing data. Using the heuristic search option with TBR branch swapping and 1000 random sequence additions, trees were inferred. Max-trees were set to 5000, branches of zero length were collapsed, and all parsimonious trees were saved. Clade robustness was assessed using bootstrap (BT) analysis with 1000 replicates [51]. Descriptive tree statistics—tree length (TL), consistency index (CI), retention index (RI), rescaled consistency index (RC), and homoplasy index (HI)—were calculated for each maximum parsimonious tree generated. The multiple sequence alignment was also analyzed using maximum likelihood (ML) in RAxML-HPC2 through the Cipres Science Gateway [52]. Branch support (BS) for ML analysis was determined by 1000 bootstrap replicates.
MrModeltest 2.3 [53] was used to determine the best-fit evolution model for each data set for Bayesian inference (BI), which was performed using MrBayes 3.2.7a with a GTR + I + G model of DNA substitution and a gamma distribution rate variation across sites [54]. A total of 4 Markov chains were run for 2 runs from random starting trees for 6 million generations for ITS + nLSU (Figure 1) and 7.5 million generations for ITS (Figure 2) with trees and parameters sampled every 1000 generations. The first one-fourth of all generations were discarded as burn-in. The majority-rule consensus tree of all remaining trees was calculated. Branches were considered as significantly supported if they received maximum likelihood bootstrap value (BS) >70%, maximum parsimony bootstrap value (BT) >70%, or Bayesian posterior probabilities (BPP) >0.95.

3. Results

3.1. Molecular Phylogeny

The ITS+nLSU dataset (Figure 1) included sequences from 77 fungal specimens representing 71 species. The dataset had an aligned length of 2269 characters. Maximum parsimony analysis yielded 26 equally parsimonious trees (TL = 4541, CI = 0.3510, HI = 0.6490, RI = 0.5827, and RC = 0.2045). The best model for the ITS + nLSU dataset estimated and applied in the Bayesian analysis was GTR + I + G. Bayesian analysis and ML analysis resulted in a similar topology to MP analysis with an average standard deviation of split frequencies = 0.015456 (BI), and the effective sample size (ESS) average ESS (avg ESS) = 791. The phylogram based on the ITS+nLSU rDNA gene regions (Figure 1), including the six genera, Fasciodontia, Hastodontia (Parmasto) Hjortstam & Ryvarden, Hyphodontia, Kneiffiella, Lyomyces, and Xylodon, were divided into four families within Hymenochaetales, which showed that three genera Fasciodontia, Lyomyces, and Xylodon nested into the family Schizoporaceae. Our current three new species clustered into the family Schizoporaceae separated into genus Xylodon. Xylodon laceratus was a sister to X. heterocystidiatus (H.X. Xiong, Y.C. Dai & Sheng H. Wu) Riebesehl, Yurchenko & Langer; X. montanus closely related with X. subclavatus (H.X. Xiong, Y.C. Dai & Sheng H. Wu) Riebesehl, Yurchenko & Langer and X. xinpingensis C.L. Zhao & X. Ma with high supports; X. tropicus was retrieved as a sister to X. hastifer (Hjortstam & Ryvarden) Hjortstam & Ryvarden.
The ITS-alone dataset (Figure 2) included sequences from 58 fungal specimens representing 53 species. The dataset had an aligned length of 875 characters. Maximum parsimony analysis yielded 5000 equally parsimonious trees (TL = 2054, CI = 0.2965, HI = 0.7035, RI = 0.4580, and RC = 0.1358). The best model for the ITS dataset estimated and applied in the Bayesian analysis was GTR+I+G. Bayesian analysis and ML analysis resulted in a similar topology to the MP analysis with an average standard deviation of split frequencies = 0.028998 (BI), and the effective sample size (ESS) of the average ESS (avg ESS) = 574.

4. Discussion

In their geographical distribution and ecological preferences, the members of Xylodon are widespread and primarily wood decomposers, causing a white-rot of woody substrates, which are widely distributed in various forest ecosystems from boreal, temperate, subtropical, to tropical zones [16,55]. Some taxa of Xylodon have been collected on rotten trunks and stumps of conifers and angiosperms, bamboo, and ferns [3,12,32,34,44,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72].
Phylogenetically, the molecular relationships of species belonging to Hyphodontia s.l. within Hymenochaetales inferred from the combined dataset of ITS, nLSU, and mt-SSU regions, showed that the phylogeny employed by the dataset strongly supported Hymenochaetales as an independent order, in which seven families, Chaetoporellaceae, Coltriciaceae, Hymenochaetaceae, Neoantrodiellaceae, Nigrofomitaceae, Oxyporaceae, Schizoporaceae were as seven monophyletic lineages, that several genera nested into Hyphodontia s.l. were supported as independent genera [3]. In the present study (Figure 1), four related families in the order Hymenochaetales were carried out by the ITS+nLSU analysis, which showed that the six genera, Fasciodontia, Hastodontia, Hyphodontia, Kneiffiella, Lyomyces, and Xylodon nested into related families, and our three new taxa clustered into genus Xylodon, belonging to the family Schizoporaceae.
Molecular phylogeny of the genus Xylodon based on the ITS-alone dataset included sequences from 61 fungal specimens representing 55 species, revealed that X. gossypinus, X. macrosporus, and X. sinensis were grouped into three different subclades of Xylodon. X. gossypinus grouped closely with X. ussuriensis Viner; X. macrosporus grouped with X. follis with high supports, and X. sinensis grouped to a clade comprising X. attenuatus and X. yarraensis with lower supports [32]. In the current study (Figure 1), our three undescribed taxa nested into the genus Xylodon, in which X. laceratus was a sister to X. heterocystidiatus; X. montanus closely grouped with X. subclavatus and X. xinpingensis with a high supports; X. tropicus was retrieved as a sister to X. hastifer. The ITS-based minimum evolution phylogram for Xylodon and allied species showed that X. cystidiatus (A. David & Rajchenb.) Riebesehl & Langer, X. hyphodontinus (Hjortstam & Ryvarden) Riebesehl, Yurchenko & G. Gruhn, X. serpentiformis (Langer) Hjortstam & Ryvarden and X. subclavatus formed individual lineages in genus Xylodon, and two genera Palifer and Odontiopsis were synonymized under Xylodon based on morphological and sequence data [31]; in the same study, X. erikssonii (M. Galán & J.E. Wright) Riebesehl & Langer, X. gamundiae (Gresl. & Rajchenb.) Riebesehl & Langer, X. hjortstamii (Gresl. & Rajchenb.) Riebesehl & Langer, X. hyphodontinus, X. septocystidiatus (H.X. Xiong, Y.C. Dai & Sheng H. Wu) Riebesehl & Langer and X. verecundus (G. Cunn.) Yurchenko & Riebesehl were proposed as the new combinations [31]. Our new taxa based on the ITS dataset analysis showed that X. tropicus and X. hyphodontinus grouped within the same subclade; both X. laceratus and X. serpentiformis clustered in the same subclade, but they were distinct; X. montanus was closely grouped with X. subclavatus with a well supports. However, morphologically, Xylodon heterocystidiatus differs from X. laceratus by having the membranaceous basidiomata and cylindrical or clavate leptocystidia (34–51 × 6–9 µm) [11]. X. subclavatus is different than X. montanus by having the cracked basidiomata, odontioid hymenial surface, and subclavate, cylindrical or fusiform cystidia (12–33 × 4.5–8.5 μm) [15]. X. xinpingensis is different from X. montanus by having the reticulate hymenophore, fusiform cystidia (19.5–31 × 2–6 µm), bigger basidia (18.5–33 × 3–6.5 µm), and subglobose basidiospores (4.5–6 × 3.5–5 µm) [44]. X. hastifer could be delimited from X. tropicus by its whitish, distinctly odontioid hymenophore, and subulate cystidia (40–60 × 6–8 µm) [25].
Morphologically, Xylodon laceratus is similar to X. australis (Berk.) Hjortstam & Ryvarden, X, gamundiae, X. macrosporus, X. rhododendricola Xue W. Wang & L.W. Zhou and X. subserpentiformis Xue W. Wang & L.W. Zhou by the cracked hymenophore. However, Xylodon australis is diverse from X. laceratus by its membranous basidiomata with a brown hymenial surface with an olive tint and subulate, sinuous, or moniliform cystidia (40–60 × 10–20 µm) [22]; X. gamundiae is different than X. laceratus by its suburniform to sinuous basidia (20–30 × 4–5 µm) and cylindrical to subcylindrical basidiospores (6–6.5 × 3–3.5 µm) [56]; X. macrosporus differs from X. laceratus by its ellipsoid to broad ellipsoid, larger basidiospores (8–10.5 × 7.5–9 µm) [32]; X. rhododendricola could be delimited from X. laceratus by its odontioid, buff-yellow hymenophore, and usually encrusted with crystals leptocystidia (30–35 × 3–3.5 µm) [3]; X. subserpentiformis is distinguishable from X. laceratus by its snake-like sinuous tramacystidia (45–50 × 4.5–5.5 µm) and utriform or subclavate basidia (20–25 × 4.5–5.5 µm) [3].
Xylodon montanus is similar to X. anmashanensis (Yurchenko, H.X. Xiong & Sheng H. Wu) Riebesehl, Yurchenko & Langer, X. brevisetus (P. Karst.) Hjortstam & Ryvarden, X. crassisporus (Gresl. & Rajchenb.) Hjortstam & Ryvarden, X. gossypinus and X. pumilius in having the moniliform cystidia. However, Xylodon anmashanensis differentiates from X. montanus by its cracked, odontioid hymenophore and three kinds of cystidia: hyphoid or subulate cystidia (22–53 × 2.5–4.5 μm), moniliform and submoniliform cystidia (20–60 × 3–5 μm) [15]; X. brevisetus is diverse from X. montanus by its odontioid hymenophore, clavate to cylindrical basidia (20–25 × 4–5 μm) [25]; X. crassisporus could be delimited from X. montanus by its odontioid, pale yellow or very pale brown hymenophore, and the capitate cystidia (27–75 × 2–5 μm) [56]; X. gossypinus differs from X. montanus by its flocculent basidiomata and capitate cystidia (16–23.5 × 2.5–5 µm) [32]; X. pumilius is distinguishable from X. montanus by its ochraceous hymenophore, capitate cystidia (30–45 × 4–5 μm) and broadly ellipsoid to broadly, thick-walled basidiospores (5–6 × 4–5 μm) [56].
Xylodontropicus is similar to Xylodon damansaraensis Xue W. Wang & L.W. Zhou, X. septocystidiatus, X. tenellus Hjortstam & Ryvarden, X. ussuriensis Viner and X. yarraensis in having the grandinioid hymenophore. However, Xylodon damansaraensis distinguishes from X. tropicus by its white hymenophore, clavate-sinuous to submoniliform cystidia (35–40 × 6–7 µm) and narrowly ellipsoid basidiospores (5.2–5.7 × 2.3–3.1 µm) [3]; X. septocystidiatus differentiates from X. tropicus by its pale buff hymenophore and subcylindrical basidia with subuniform constriction (16–22 × 3 4.5–5 µm) [12]; X. tenellus is diverse from X. tropicus by its whitish hymenophore, capitate cystidia (30–60 µm long) and thin-walled basidiospores (4 × 4.5 µm) [28]; X. ussuriensis could be delimited from X. tropicus by its pale ochraceous hymenophore, three types of cystidia: capitate cystidia (71.0–188.9 × 5.7–9.4 μm), astrocystidia (15–17 × 4.5–4.8 μm), fusoid to cylindrical or submoniliform cystidia (40.0–84.0 × 5.0–9.0 μm), and ellipsoid to broadly ellipsoid basidiospores (5.1–6.0 × 3.8–4.6 μm) [27]; X. yarraensis is different from X. tropicus by its capitate cystidia (25–30 × 2.5–3.5 µm) and ellipsoid basidiospores (4.5–5.3) × 3.1–3.8 µm) [3].
Miettinen et al. [71] analyzed a higher-level phylogenetic classification of polypores and showed that the macromorphology of fruiting bodies and hymenophore construction did not reflect monophyletic groups. The current phylogeny shows that the morphological characters do not follow the phylogenetic group on different taxa in this genus. However, several characters lead the key role, e.g., the hyphal system monomitic, basidiospores ellipsoid, and thin-walled (Figure 2).
So far, 33 taxa of Xylodon were recorded in China [3,22,24,27,31,32,37,44,72]. Based on the morphological and phylogenetic study of Xylodon presented here, all of these can be delimited from our three new species (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
