Abstract

Schizoporaparadoxa, current name Xylodonparadoxus, is a white-rot fungus with certain useful biotechnological properties. The representative genome of Schizoporaparadoxa strain KUC8140 was published in 2015 as part of the 1000 Fungal Genomes Project. Multilocus phylogenetic analyses, based on three nuclear regions (ITS, LSU and rpb2), confirmed a misidentification of S.paradoxa strain KUC8140 which should be identified as Xylodonovisporus. This wrong identification explains the unexpected geographical distribution of S.paradoxa, since this species has a European distribution, whereas the strain KUC8140 was recorded from Korea, Eastern Asia.
