Junghuhnia is a genus of crust fungi in the family Steccherinaceae. It was circumscribed by Czech mycologist August Carl Joseph Corda in 1842. The generic name honours German-Dutch botanist Franz Wilhelm Junghuhn.
The Meruliaceae are a family of fungi in the order Polyporales. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contains 47 genera and 420 species. As of April 2018, Index Fungorum accepts 645 species in the family.
The Steccherinaceae are a family of about 200 species of fungi in the order Polyporales. It includes crust-like, toothed, and poroid species that cause a white rot in dead wood.
Antrodiella is a genus of fungi in the family Steccherinaceae of the order Polyporales.
Lamelloporus is a fungal genus in the family Steccherinaceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Lamelloporus americanus. The genus and species were described by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden in 1987. This fungus is known from tropical America, including Mexico and Venezuela.
Mycorrhaphium is a genus of fungi in the family Steccherinaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Dutch mycologist Rudolph Arnold Maas Geesteranus in 1962. The type species is Mycorrhaphium adustum. Fruit bodies of species in the genus have caps, stipes, and a hydnoid (tooth-like) hymenophore. There is a dimitic hyphal system, where the skeletal hyphae are found only in the tissue of the "teeth", and a lack of cystidia. The spores are smooth, hyaline (translucent), and inamyloid.
Nigroporus is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Steccherinaceae. The genus was circumscribed by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1905. Nigroporus has a pantropical distribution. The genus name combines the Latin word niger ("black") with the Ancient Greek word πόρος ("pore").
Skeletocutis brevispora is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It was described as new to science in 1998 by Finnish mycologist Tuomo Niemelä.
Antella is a genus of three species of crust fungi in the family Steccherinaceae.
Junghuhnia glabricystidia is a species of crust fungus in the family Steccherinaceae. The type specimen was collected in Kibale National Park, western Uganda, growing on a rotting hardwood log. The crust-like fruit bodies of the fungus measure up to 1 cm wide, 3 cm long, and 3 mm thick. The pore surface is white to cream, with round pores numbering 4 to 5 per millimetre. The tube layer, which is the same colour as the pore surface, is up to 2 mm deep, with a 1-mm thick subiculum. Its ellipsoid spores measure 4–5 by 3–3.5 µm. The fungus was described as new to science in 2005 by mycologists Perpetua Ipulet & Leif Ryvarden.
Junghuhnia chlamydospora is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Steccherinaceae. The type specimen was collected in the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary in Belize, growing on a dead standing tree. The crust-like fruit bodies of the fungus measure up to 2 millimetres (0.079 in) thick and have an ochraceous margin. The pore surface is yellowish to discoloured when fresh, later becoming blackish in parts when dry. The angular pores number 2 to 3 per millimetre. The tube layer, which is the same colour as the pore surface, is up to 3 millimetres (0.12 in) deep. Its cylindrical spores measure 4–4.5 by 1.5–2 µm. It has finely encrusted skeletal hyphae, similar to the related Saint Lucian fungus J. carneola. The abundant chlamydospores, for which J. chlamydospora is named, measure 8–12 by 4–6 µm and are strongly dextrinoid. The fungus was described as new to science in 2007 by mycologist Leif Ryvarden.
Trulla is a fungal genus in the family Steccherinaceae containing six species of polypores. It was circumscribed by mycologists Otto Miettinen and Leif Ryvarden in 2016, as a continuation of prior work that outlined a revised framework for the Steccherinaceae based on molecular phylogenetics. Its closest relative in the Steccherinaceae is the genus Nigroporus, from which it differs in its light-coloured fruit bodies and monomitic context.
Sebipora is a fungal genus in the family Gelatoporiaceae. It was circumscribed in 2012 by mycologist Otto Miettinen to contain the crust fungus Sebipora aquosa, its single species. This fungus is found in low altitudes in Sumatra and New Guinea, where it causes a white rot on dead angiosperm wood, particularly fallen tree trunks, and frequently on burned wood.
Metuloidea is a genus of five species of fungi in the family Steccherinaceae. The genus was circumscribed by New Zealand-based mycologist Gordon Herriot Cunningham in 1965. The type species is M. tawa, a fungus originally described by Cunningham as a species of Trametes. Formerly classified in family Meruliaceae, Metuloidea was moved to the Steccherinaceae in 2016, following prior research that outlined a revised framework for the Steccherinaceae based on molecular phylogenetics.
Loweomyces fractipes is a species of poroid fungus in the family Steccherinaceae, and the type species of the genus Loweomyces. It is a widely distributed species, found in North America, Europe, Central America, South America, and Korea.
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.
Nigroporus macroporus is a species of poroid fungus in the family Steccherinaceae. It was described as new to science in 2003 by mycologists Leif Ryvarden and Teresa Iturriaga. Found in Venezuela and Brazil, it is a wood-decay fungus that causes a white rot in the hardwood Dimorphandra macrostachya.
Antella niemelaei is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Steccherinaceae.
Grammothele bambusicola is a poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae that is found in Asia. It was described as new to science in 1984 by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden.
