Abstract
Comprehensive United States county distribution maps of Fomes fasciatus and F. fomentarius were developed based on peer-reviewed publications, records from mycological herbaria and collections made for this study. The geographic distribution was expanded for both species to include a total of seven counties in five states not included in previous publications and records. North Carolina and Tennessee were the only states where both species occurred, but their distributions did not overlap when resolved to the county level. Both fungi occurred on a diverse range of hardwood tree hosts, and in this study, 11 and 17 new hosts associations were identified for F. fasciatus and F. fomentarius, respectively. The extension of host distributions beyond the known range for each fungus suggests that other delimiting factors may contribute to the distribution of F. fasciatus and F. fomentarius.
