Phanerochaete is a genus of crust fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae.
Atheliaceae is a family of mostly corticioid fungi placed in the order Atheliales. Both the order and the family were described by the Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich in 1981 along with three other families, Lobuliciaceae, Byssocorticiaceae, Pilodermataceae and Tylosporaceae discovered in 2020. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contains 20 genera and approximately 100 species. However, many genera formerly considered to belong in the Atheliaceae have since been moved to other families, including Amylocorticiaceae, Albatrellaceae, and Hygrophoraceae. Despite being a relatively small group with inconspicuous forms, Atheliaceae members show great diversity in life strategies and are widespread in distribution. Additionally, being a group strictly composed of largely corticioid fungi, they may also provide insights on the evolution of fruiting body forms in basidiomycetes.
The Phanerochaetaceae are a family of mostly crust fungi in the order Polyporales.
Gloeoporus is a genus of crust fungi in the family Irpicaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution.
Roseograndinia is a fungal genus in the family Phanerochaetaceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single crust fungus species Roseograndinia rosea, recorded from tropical east Africa and from New Zealand.
Amethicium is a fungal genus in the family Phanerochaetaceae. A monotypic genus, it contains the single species Amethicium rimosum, a crust fungus first reported from Tanzania in 1983. Amethicium is primarily characterized by its purple fruit body and a dimitic hyphal system. The felt-like tissue layer covering the substrate comprises a thin layer of densely intertwined skeletal hyphae.
Cericium is a fungal genus in the family Cystostereaceae. It is a monotypic genus with the single species Cericium luteoincrustatum, a crust fungus. This species was originally described in 1986 by Kurt Hjortstam and Leif Ryvarden, who called it Amethicium luteoincrustatum. They placed it in the genus Amethicium based on microscopic similarities with the African species Amethicium rimosum.
Uncobasidium is a genus of two species of crust fungi in the Meruliaceae family. The genus was circumscribed by mycologists Kurt Hjorstam and Leif Ryvarden in 1978 with the European fungus U. luteolum as the type species. The South American species U. roseocremeum was added to the genus in 2012. The distinguishing feature of Uncobasidium is the basal hook in the basidium.
Navisporus is a genus of seven species of tropical poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden in 1980 with Navisporus floccosus as the type species. This fungus, first described as Trametes floccosa by Giacomo Bresadola in 1896, is thought to have been originally collected in Tanzania.
Dentocorticium irregulare is a species of crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It was described as new to science in 1978 by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden. It was found growing on the bark of a deciduous tree in Akagera National Park, near Lake Ihema, in Rwanda. Fruitbodies are white, crust-like, and have a cheesy consistency. The spore-bearing (hymenial) surface features shallow and irregular pores, flattened "teeth", and ridges. The spores are cylindrical, hyaline (translucent), and measure 6.5–9–3–4.5 μm.
Hapalopilus africanus is a species of polypore fungus. Found in Rwanda, it was described as new to science in 1978 by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden. The type collection was found growing on deciduous wood near Nyungwe Forest, close to Cyangugu. The crust-like fruitbodies are yellow with a chrome yellow pore surface. The pores and angular, thin-walled, and number about one to three per millimetre. Spores produced by the fungus are ellipsoid in shape, smooth, hyaline (translucent), measuring 4–5 by 2–2.4 μm.
Crustodontia is a fungal genus of uncertain familial placement in the order Polyporales. The genus was circumscribed in 2005 to contain the crust fungus Crustodontia chrysocreas. This species was originally described as Corticium chrysocreas by Miles Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis in 1873. Their description was as follows: "Subiculum bright yellow, thin; hymenium immarginate pallid, or yellow tinged with tawny." Crustodontia has a monomitic hyphal system, meaning it contains only generative hyphae, and these hyphae have clamp connections.
Atraporiella is a monotypic fungal genus in the family Steccherinaceae. It contains the crust fungus Atraporiella neotropica, known only from Belize.
Hydnophlebia omnivora is a species of crust fungus in the family Meruliaceae. It causes white rot in various woody angiosperms, being found in arid regions of the Southern United States, northern Mexico, and Uruguay.
Junghuhnia nitida is a widespread species of crust fungus in the family Steccherinaceae.
Crustomyces subabruptus is a species of toothed crust fungus in the family Cystostereaceae.
Dichomitus eucalypti is a crust fungus that was described as a new species in 1985 by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden. The fruit body of the fungus measures 1–2 cm in diameter, and has a white to pale cream pore surface with small round pores numbering 2–3 per millimetre. D. eucalypti has a dimitic hyphal structure, containing both generative and binding hyphae. Generative hyphae are thin walled with clamps, and measure 2.5–4 μm in diameter. Found in the context, the binding hyphae are solid, hyaline, and measure 2–5 μm. Spores are more or less cylindrical, thin-walled and hyaline, and have dimensions of 7–8.5 by 3–4 μm.
Leifiporia is a genus of two species of poroid white rot crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Chinese mycologists in 2016 to accommodate the type species Leifiporia rhizomorpha.
Butyrea is a genus of two species of crust fungi in the family Steccherinaceae.
Antella niemelaei is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Steccherinaceae.
