Notes on Poria from Korea

한국산 Poria국에 대한 소고

The present genus, once applied as an all-round taxon on resupinate polypores, was considered on account of its common occurrence throughout the world and outstanding wood-rotting nature. In Korea two species, P. vaporaria(but even this seems misjudged) and P. cocos have been known. The authors used to examine tentatively the materials formerly preserved in dried state. Among about 40 collections half of them was recognized as P. cocos and 4 unrecorded species, P. versipora, P. subacida, P. medulla-panis, and P. eupora, which are newly registered to Korea in this article.
