Abstract
Background and aims – This study is a part of an ongoing survey of the genus Perenniporia (Basidiomycota, Polyporales) in sub-Saharan Africa, and reports on several species collected in Central and Southwestern Ethiopia. Methods – Species are described using morphology-based methods. Key Results – Perenniporia abyssinica is proposed as new species. Perenniporia globispora is reported for the first time in Ethiopia. Conclusion – Perenniporia abyssinica and P. globispora are reported from Central and Southwestern Ethiopia. The report of P. globispora constitutes the second report of the species and the first record for Ethiopia.
