Efibula is a genus of 16 species of crust fungi in the family Irpicaceae.
The genus was circumscribed by Sheng-Hua Wu in 1990 with Efibula tropica as the type species. Efibula contains Phlebia -like fungi without clamp connections. [1] Although traditionally classified in the family Phanerochaetaceae, [2] recent molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of Efibula in the Irpicaceae. [3]
As of June 2018 [update] , Index Fungorum accepts 16 species in Efibula: [4]
The genus Roseograndinia was created in 2005 to contain the fungus once proposed for transfer into Efibula as Efibula rosea. [8]
