Resumo

At a global scale, brown-rot fungi are proportionally less diverse than white-rot fungi, a pattern reported in several regional studies. Several studies have further suggested that both species richness and the relative proportion of brown-rot and white-rot fungi follow climatic and latitudinal patterns, with brown-rot polypores generally considered less diverse in tropical regions and proportionally more abundant in temperate and cold climates. However, this apparent pattern may be influenced by uneven sampling effort, particularly the comparatively limited study of brown-rot fungi in tropical regions. The diversity and distribution of brown-rot fungi in the Neotropics therefore remain poorly understood. The present study addresses this gap by providing an updated bibliographic checklist of species belonging to the ‘brown-rot polypore clade’ recorded in the Neotropical and Andean regions of America. We present a curated list of 88 brown-rot polypore species, distributed across 27 genera and 9 families. For each taxon, we synthesize available information on nomenclature, geographic distribution, substrate associations, and ecoregional occurrence, and we discuss broader patterns of taxonomic richness, climatic distribution, substrate use, biogeographic structure, and taxonomic uncertainty. Particular attention is given to historical and extra-continental records, doubtful occurrences, and cases in which current nomenclature does not fully reflect phylogenetic placement. This checklist provides a baseline for future taxonomic, phylogenetic, biogeographic, and ecological studies of brown-rot polypores in South America.
