Phylloporus gajari, a new species, based on morphological and molecular data, is described
and illustrated from tropical Asian forests dominated by Shorea robusta. It is morphologically
circumscribed by its reddish brown to yellowish brown, sub-tomentose and rimose
pileus when mature, sub-crowded cyanescent lamellae, red to reddish brown stipe,
bacillate basidiospores, and habitat in forests dominated by Shorea robusta. Molecular
phylogenetic analysis using the nuclear ribosomal large subunit RNA also supports the new
species in Boletaceae. We compare it with phenotypically similar and molecular phylogenetically
allied taxa
