Abstract

Twenty-seven species of wood-rotting Basidiomycetes are reported to decay junipers in Arizona. A key to the species, descriptions, and line drawings of microscopic characters are provided. Pyrofomes demidoffii, Daealea juniperina, Poria rimosa, and Phellinus texanus cause decay of heartwood in living trees. Hyphoderma deserticola Gilberts. et Linds. is described as new.
