Datroniella scutellata fungus in the family Polyporaceae , and the type species of genus Datroniella [ 1]
Taxonomy
The fungus was originally described in 1832 by German-American mycologist Lewis David de Schweinitz . He found the original collections in Bethlehem, New York , where it was growing on the branches and trunk of Syringa vulgaris [ 2] polypore genera in its taxonomic history. Since the mid-1980s, it has largely been accepted in the genus Datronia Robert Lee Gilbertson and Leif Ryvarden .[ 3] [ 4] type species of the new genus Datroniella molecular analysis showed that the species then classified in Datronia belonged to three distantly related clades .[ 1]
Distribution
Datroniella scutellata is a widespread species with a cosmopolitan distribution , and is particularly prevalent in tropical areas. It is uncommon in Europe , where it is found only in the Alps of Austria and Switzerland.[ 5]
