Abstract: Species of Trametes are important wood decomposers in natural ecosystems and they have been widely used as traditional medicines in Asia. In order to assess the fungal biodiversity of the Greater Mekong Subregion, surveys of Trametes were conducted in Laos. In this paper, Trametes cubensis is introduced as a new record from Laos based on morphology and molecular evidence. The collected specimens are described with colour photographs and illustrations, and compared with similar taxa. A phylogenetic analysis for the new collection of T. cubensis is provided based on ITS, LSU and TEF1 sequence data and the taxonomic status of the species is briefly discussed. Furthermore, the bioactive compounds, beneficial properties and biotechnological applications of Trametes species are also reviewed.
