Introduction
The genus Trametes Fr. is characterized by having pileate basidiocarps, a trimitic hyphal system with clamp connections on generative hyphae, hyaline and thin- walled basidiospores that are negative in Melzer’s reagent, and causing white rot (Gilbertson & Ryvarden 1986, Ryvarden & Gilbertson 1994, Lindblad & Ryvarden 1999, Núñez & Ryvarden 2001). About 50 species in the genus have been reported in the world (Kirk et al. 2008)
