Datroniella scutellata is a species of fungus in the family Polyporaceae, and the type species of genus Datroniella.[1]
Taxonomy
The fungus was originally described in 1832 by German-American mycologist Lewis David de Schweinitz. He found the original collections in Bethlehem, New York, where it was growing on the branches and trunk of Syringa vulgaris.[2] The fungus has been shuffled to many different polypore genera in its taxonomic history. Since the mid-1980s, it has largely been accepted in the genus Datronia, where it was transferred by Robert Lee Gilbertson and Leif Ryvarden.[3][4] In 2014, Chinese mycologists made it the type species of the new genus Datroniella after molecular analysis showed that the species then classified in Datronia belonged to three distantly related clades.[1]
Distribution
Datroniella scutellata is a widespread species with a cosmopolitan distribution, and is particularly prevalent in tropical areas. It is uncommon in Europe, where it is found only in the Alps of Austria and Switzerland.[5]
