Comments

Perenniporia ochrolecua (and also Perenniporia ohioensis) are now widely accepted as belonging to the genus Truncospora, ie Truncospora ochroleuca (Berk.) Pilat., e.g. Index Fungorum / species Fungorum:
http://www.indexfungorum.org/Names/Names.asp
and Truncospora ohiensis (Berk.) Pilát
http://www.indexfungorum.org/Names/NamesRecord.asp?RecordID=291633

For some reason Mycobank (https://www.mycobank.org/page/Name%20details%20page/name/Truncospora%20ochroleuca) continues to list Perenniporia ochroleuca as the current name, but this is possibly merely because it has never been flagged for updating in that database.

All recent literature accepts Truncospora, and no recent global treatment advocates a wide sense of Perenniporia including Truncospora.

Examples of the most papers using Truncospora are:
