RESUMEN
Lagarobasidium cymosum is a rare corticioid species with characteristic morphology different from other Lagarobasidium species. We used nuc 5.8S rDNA, nuc 28S rDNA, and mt 12S rDNA loci to infer the phylogenetic position of L. cymosum. Our analyses suggest that it belongs to Xylodon but is not closely related to any of the other taxa referred to Lagarobasidium. Molecular and morphological information shows that the traditional concept of L. cymosum covers at least three species: Xylodon acuminatus from the Neotropics, X. cymosus from North America, and X. subtilissimus distributed in both Europe and North America. Lagarobasidium calongei is transferred to Xylodon, and DNA barcodes for Lyomyces incrustatus and Xylodon hjortstamii are published for the first time.

Modern taxonomic studies of Agaricomycetes rely on the integrative analyses of morphology, environmental data, geographic distribution, and usually several DNA loci. However, sampling and selection of DNA loci for the analyses are commonly shallow. In this study, we suggest minimal numbers of necessary specimens to sample and DNA loci to analyze in order to prevent inadequate taxonomic decisions in species groups with minor morphological and genealogical differences. We sampled four unlinked nuclear DNA gene regions (nuc rDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2, gh63, rpb2, and tef1) to revise the systematics of a common wood-decaying species Basidioradulum radula (Hymenochaetales) on an intercontinental set of specimens collected in the Northern Hemisphere. The DNA loci analyzed violate the genealogical concordance phylogenetic species recognition principles, thus confirming a single-species interpretation. We conclude that Hyphodontia syringae is a younger synonym of B. radula.

Lagarobasidium is a small genus of wood-decaying basidiomycetes in the order Hymenochaetales. Molecular phylogenetic analyses have either supported Lagarobasidium as a distinct taxon or indicated that it should be subsumed under Xylodon, a genus that covers the majority of species formerly placed in Hyphodontia. We used sequences from the ITS and nuclear LSU regions to infer the phylogenetic position of the type species L.detriticum. Analyses confirm Lagarobasidium as a synonym of Xylodon. Molecular and morphological information show that the traditional concept of L.detriticum covers at least two species, Xylodondetriticus from Europe and X.pruinosus with known distribution in Europe and North America. Three species currently placed in Lagarobasidium are transferred to Xylodon, viz. X.magnificus, X.pumilius and X.rickii. Three new Xylodon species are described and illustrated, X.ussuriensis and X.crystalliger from East Asia and X.attenuatus from the Pacific Northwest America. The identity of X.nongravis, described from Sri Lanka, is discussed.
