•Phellinopsis asetosa is newly described from southwestern China.•The new species is compared with Fulvifomes inermis in morphology.•ITS-based phylogeny indicates P. asetosa belongs to Phellinopsis.•Phellinopsis asetosa is distinguished in the genus mainly by lacking hymenial setae.•The concept of Phellinopsis is emended and a key to species of the genus is provided.
Phellinopsis asetosa sp. nov. is described from Yunnan Province, southwestern China. Phellinopsis asetosa resembles Fulvifomes inermis in the field. The two species have a similar hyphal structure in both context and trama, besides lack of hymenial setae. However, Fulvifomes inermis produces smaller and darker basidiospores than P. asetosa. In the internal transcription spacer (ITS) phylogeny, P. asetosa was recovered within the Phellinopsis clade. Phellinopsis asetosa is distinguished from other species of Phellinopsis mainly by its lack of hymenial setae. The concept of Phellinopsis is thus emended to reflect this feature, the seasonal habit and duplex context of Phellinopsis junipericola and the resupinate basidiocarps of P. asetosa and P. resupinata. A key to six accepted species of Phellinopsis is provided.
