Laetiporus zonatus is a species of polypore fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae. It is found in southwestern China, where it grows on oak. The species was described as new to science in 2014 by Baokai Cui and Jie Song. The specific epithet zonatus refers to the concentric rings on the upper surface of the white to cream-colored fruit body. The fungus produces ellipsoid to pear-shaped (pyriform) or drop-shaped basidiospores that measure 5.8–7.2 by 4.3–5.5 μm. Molecular analysis of internal transcribed spacer DNA sequences indicate that L. zonatus is a unique lineage in the genus Laetiporus.

Laetiporus ailaoshanensis is a species of polypore fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae. It is found in southwestern China, where it grows on Lithocarpus. The species was described as new to science in 2014 by Baokai Cui and Jie Song. Its fruit body has an orange-yellow to reddish-orange cap surface, with cream to buff pores on the cap underside. The fungus produces ovoid to ellipsoid basidiospores that measure 5.0–6.2 by 4.0–5.0 μm. Molecular analysis of internal transcribed spacer DNA sequences indicate that L. ailaoshanensis is a unique lineage in the genus Laetiporus.

Fistulina subhepatica is a species of fungus in the family Fistulinaceae. It is found in Yunnan Province in subtropical China, where it causes brown rot on Castanopsis and Lithocarpus. It was described as new to science in 2014 by Bao-Kai Cui and Jie Song. It is named for its resemblance to the common beefsteak fungus, Fistulina hepatica, from which it can be distinguished by its larger spores (measuring 4–6 by 3–4.5 μm), and generative hyphae with clamp connections.

Bondarzewia tibetica is a species of polypore fungus in the family Bondarzewiaceae. Found in Tibet, it was described as new to science in 2016.
