Abstract  A brief history of taxonomic research on New Zealand polypore fungi is given, followed by a checklist of published New Zealand records of these fungi. In total, 169 poroid taxa are accepted, of which 48 have currently misapplied or uncertain names. A further 359 names used for New Zealand polypore fungi are cited as synonyms, and 33 names are treated as doubtful records. Twelve species are newly recorded from New Zealand: Anomoporia myceliosa, Australohydnum dregeanum, Ceriporiopsis rivulosa var. valdiviana, Coriolopsis strumosa, Junghuhnia separabilima, Phaeolus schweinitzii sens. str., Postia fragilis, Postia tephroleuca, Rigidoporus albostygius, Trechispora regularis, Tyromyces fissilis, and T. hypolateritius. The new combination Postia manuka is proposed. All names are indexed by epithet, followed by a bibliography.

Keywords  polypore fungi; new records; New Zealand; checklist; index; bibliography
