The Bondarzewiaceae are a family of fungi in the order Russulales. The type species for both its genus and the family as a whole, Bondarzewia montana, closely resembles members of Polyporales (and was formerly placed there), but has ornamented spores like those of Lactarius or Russula . This characteristic suggested the relationship between physically dissimilar species that eventually led to the restructuring of Russulales (and other taxa) using molecular phylogeny. ^{[2] [3]} According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the family contains 8 genera and 48 species. ^[4]

The taxon is named after Russian mycologist Apollinari Semyonovich Bondarzew.
