海南热带雨林国家公园发现3个大型真菌新物种

Core Insights - Recent discoveries in Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park include three new species of fungi: Extreme White Non-Locked Leather Fungus, Granular Powdery Leather Fungus, and Hainan Powdery Leather Fungus [5][6] - Additionally, three new recorded species in China were found, enriching the diversity of large fungi in Hainan [6] Group 1: New Species Discovery - The Extreme White Non-Locked Leather Fungus was found in the Bawangling area, characterized by its annual fruiting body that appears flat and has a waxy texture when fresh, resembling snow on decayed wood [5] - The Granular Powdery Leather Fungus and Hainan Powdery Leather Fungus were discovered in the Jianfengling area, with the former having a leathery fruiting body and a surface with slight granules, while the latter has a smooth surface with a fuzzy edge [5] Group 2: Ecological Significance - All newly discovered and recorded species are wood-decaying fungi, playing a crucial role as decomposers in forest ecosystems, accelerating the decomposition of dead wood and leaves, and maintaining nutrient cycling [7] - The sensitivity of fungi to habitat changes highlights the integrity and diversity of the ecosystem in Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, supporting further scientific research and resource value exploration [7]
