TAPIA, Fidel  and  CHACON, Santiago. Records of corticioid fungi of the family Meruliaceae (Polyporales, Agaricomycetes) from Veracruz, Mexico. Rev. Mex. Mic [online]. 2015, vol.41, pp.5-13. ISSN 0187-3180.

The objective of this paper is to increase the knowledge about resupinate fungi of the family Meruliaceae (Polyporales, Agaricomycetes) from Veracruz state, Mexico. As a result of material collected by the authors in locations from the central region of Veracruz, we present five new records of this group for the Mexican mycobiota, these are: Ceriporia purpurea, C. spissa, Phlebia acerina, P. ludoviciana, and P. subocracea. The study of samples were made using routine techniques in mycology, while determination of materials were done using specialized literature. Drawings and photographs of the studied species is presented.
