New names for some fungi

[Nick Harrison]

Is anyone else aware of changes to the scientific names of some fungi?

 

Piptoporus betulinus = Fomitopsis betulina

Polyporus squamosus = Cerioporus squamosus

 

I had a look on the British Mycolgocial Society website but could only find reference to the 2 changes below but not those above?

 

Inonotus dryadeus = Pseudoinonotus dryadeus

Phellinus punctatus = Fomitiporia punctata
