Polypores from eastern Inner Mongolia, northeastern China

Around 440 specimens of wood-inhabiting fungi were collected in Alshan, Chifeng and Daqinggou of eastern Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region during 2002 to 2005, and 95 species of polypores were identified from these materials. A checklist of these with their hosts is given. Most of the species are reported the first time in eastern Inner Mongolia. Trametes subsuaveolens B.K.Cui & Y.C.Dai is described as a new species. It is similar to T. suaveolens (Fr.: Fr.) Fr., but differs by having both smaller pores and basidiospores, and by lacking anise odour when fresh.
