Type: article

Abstract: Fuscoporia is a polypore genus of Hymenochaetaceae that causes wood decay, although some species in the genus have medicinal values. Phylogenetic analyses of concatenated ITS1-5.8S-ITS2-nLSU sequence data and morphological features identified three new species, F. eucalypticola, F. resupinata and F. subtropica from Australia, China and Malaysia, and these new species derived from the Fuscoporia ferrea group. These three species are illustrated and described. A key to resupinate species of Fuscoporia without mycelial setae in the world is provided.
