New records of Boletales (Basidiomycota) of a tropical oak forest from Mexican Southeast
<p><strong>Background: </strong>Derived from the study of the mycobiota associated with <em>Quercus oleoides </em>Schltdl. et Cham., tropical oaks have been explored in Tabasco, finding great diversity in numerous fungal groups, such as boletoids macromycetes.</p><p><strong>Question: </strong>What is the diversity of the mycobiota of Boletales poroides associated with tropical oaks of Tabasco?</p><p><strong>Species Study: </strong>Order Boletales</p><p><strong>Study sites and date: </strong>municipality of Balancán in the state of Tabasco, 2012 – 2016.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> Collections of boletoid fungi associated with <em>Q. oleoides</em> were carried out according to conventional mycology techniques for taxonomic identification, a dichotomous key of the species found was performed and their geographical distribution was analyzed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Up to now, nine species assigned to five genera and two families of boletoid macromycetes have been identified.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>All species are new records for the State, thus expanding its geographic distribution, it is the first record of macromycetes associated with tropical holm oaks in southeastern Mexico.</p>
