A new species of Meripilus is described from the tropical forest of México:
M. tropicalis Guzmán & Pérez-Silva, that differs from M. giganteus (Pers.
ex Fr.) Karst, and M. talpae (Cooke) Reid only in the size of spores and basidia
and in the number of pores per mm. Ai. tropicalis is closer to M. talpae
than to Ai. giganteus, because both are tropical species. Ai. talpae is known
from África, Ceylan, Australia, South America and the Antillas, but M. giganteus
is only known from the deciduous-leaf forst of Europe. The fungus that
was reported as Polyporus giganteus from U.S.A., is perhaps a fourth species
of the genus Meripilus. M. tropicalis is only known from Los Tuxtlas región,
State of Veracruz, growing on a rotten aerial root of Ficus sp.
