The Polyporaceae are a family of poroid fungi belonging to the Basidiomycota. The flesh of their fruit bodies varies from soft to very tough. Most members of this family have their hymenium in vertical pores on the underside of the caps, but some of them have gills or gill-like structures. Many species are brackets, but others have a definite stipe – for example, Polyporus badius.
Daedaleopsis is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The name Daedaleopsis is a reference to Daedalus, the labyrinth-maker of myth. Similarly, the maze-like pattern of pores is taxonomically described as being daedaloid. DNA was recovered and sequenced from fragments of a nearly 7000-year-old fruit body of D. tricolor found in an early Neolithic village in Rome.
Fomitopsis is a genus of more than 40 species of bracket fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae.
Postia is a genus of brown rot fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae.
Antrodiella is a genus of fungi in the family Steccherinaceae of the order Polyporales.
Dentocorticium is a genus of six species of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus was revised in 2018, with several new species added and some older species transferred to other genera, based on phylogenetic analyses.
Dichomitus is a genus of poroid crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed by English mycologist Derek Reid in 1965.
Grammothele is a genus of poroid crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae.
Grammothelopsis is a fungal genus in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed in 1982 by Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich, with Grammothelopsis macrospora as the type species.
Megasporoporia is a genus of four species of crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus is characterized by its large spores, and dextrinoid skeletal hyphae.
Skeletocutis is a genus of about 40 species of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution, although most species are found in the Northern Hemisphere. It causes a white rot in a diverse array of woody substrates, and the fruit bodies grow as a crust on the surface of the decaying wood. Sometimes the edges of the crust are turned outward to form rudimentary bracket-like caps.
Fibroporia albicans is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae. It causes a brown rot. The fungus was described in 2015 as a species new to science, based on collections made in Jiangxi and Xizang Provinces, China. It is one of five Fibroporia species recorded in China.
Datroniella is a genus of poroid crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed in 2014 by Chinese mycologists as a segregate genus from Datronia. Datroniella differs from Datronia by their moderately to frequently branched skeletal hyphae in the context, and absence of dendrohyphidia. The type species of Datroniella is D. scutellata, a fungus originally described as Polyporus scutellatus by Lewis David de Schweinitz. Datroniella fungi cause a white rot, usually on angiosperm wood.
Megasporoporia minuta is a species of crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Found in the Guangxi Autonomous Region of southern China, it was described as a new species in 2008 by mycologists Xu-Shen Zhou and Yu-Cheng Dai. The fungus produces annual to biennial fruit bodies with small pores, numbering 6–8 per millimetre. The spores are cylindrical to oblong-ellipsoid and measure 7.7–9.7 by 3.6–4.9 μm. The hymenium lacks both hyphal pegs and dendrohyphidia.
Neodatronia is a genus of two species of poroid crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed in 2014 by Chinese mycologists Bao-Kai Cui, Hai-Jiao Li, and Yu-Cheng Dai as a segregate genus from Datronia. Neodatronia fungi differ microscopically from Datronia by having moderately to frequently branched skeleto-binding hyphae in the context, and by their somewhat smaller spores.
Cerarioporia is a fungal genus in the family Polyporaceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Cerarioporia cystidiata, a wood-decaying poroid crust fungus found in tropical China. Cerarioporia resembles fungi placed in the genus Antrodia, but can be distinguished by its waxy to resinous fruit bodies, and microscopically by the thick-walled, encrusted cystidia. Additionally, Cerarioporia causes a white rot, while Antrodia are brown-rot fungi.
Postia cylindrica is a species of poroid fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae. Found in Southern China, it was described as a new species in 2017 by Hai-Sheng Yuan. The type collection was found growing on a dead pine tree in Jiangxi. The fungus is characterized macroscopically by crust-like to effused-reflexed fruit bodies with a cream to buff coloured cap surface and a reddish-brown margin that curves inward. There are gloeoplerous (oily) hyphal cells in the cuticular layer, and an absence of cystidia in the hymenium. The fungus produces smooth, cylindrical, thin-walled spores measuring 4.7–5.2 by 1.3–1.5 μm.
Datroniella tropica is a species of crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Found in southwestern China, it was described as a new species in 2014 by mycologists Bao-Kai Cui, Hai J. Lee, and Yu-Cheng Dai, who placed it in the new genus Datroniella. The type collection was made in Tongbiguan Nature Reserve, where the fungus was found growing on a fallen angiosperm branch. The specific epithet tropica refers to its distribution in tropical China.
Daedaleopsis hainanensis is a species of white rot poroid fungus that is found in tropical China. It was described as a new species in 2016 by mycologists Hai-Jiao Li and Shuang-Hui He. The type was collected in Jianfengling Nature Reserve, where it was found growing on a fallen angiosperm trunk. It is one of five Daedaleopsis species that have been recorded in China.
Dextrinoporus is a fungal genus in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed by mycologists Hai-Sheng Yuan and Wen-Min Qin in 2018 to contain the single poroid species Dextrinoporus aquaticus. This white-rot wood-decay fungus is found in southwestern China.
