Biology:Pachycudonia
From HandWiki
Pachycudonia is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Cudoniaceae.[1] The Japanese mycologist Sanshi Imai originally proposed it as a section of the genus Cudonia, basing it on the species Cudonia constrictospora, and describing the main characteristic of the genus as Pileus convexo-hemiglobosus vel depresso-convexus, crassus ("Pileus convex to hemispherical or depressed-convex, thick.") He later promoted it to distinct genus status in 1950.[2] Pachycudonia has three species:[1]
- Pachycudonia constrictospora (S.Ito & S.Imai) S.Imai (1950)
- Pachycudonia monticola (Mains) S.Imai (1950)
- Pachycudonia spathulata (S.Imai) S.Imai (1950)
The distribution of the genus, when described by Imai in 1955, was restricted to Japan and the Pacific coast of North America.
