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.
Fruit bodies of the fungus are crust-like, measuring up to 1 mm thick, with a pore surface colour ranging from cream to straw to pale yellowish brown. The shallow pores number 2–3 per millimetre. [1]
G. bambusicola has a dimitic hyphal system; its generative hyphae have clamp connections. Spores are more or less ellipsoid in shape, thin-walled, and measure 7–8.5 by 4–5 μm. The fungus is similar in morphology to Grammothele ochracea (found in Thailand), but differs from that species in having larger pores, more yellowish colour, and spores that are longer and more ellipsoid. [1]
The type collection was made an altitude of 2,800 metres (9,200 ft) in Ghorepani, in the Gandaki Zone of Nepal, in October 1979. It was found growing on Bambusa . [1] The species was later reported from Takatsuki, Osaka. [2]
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.
Grammothele is a genus of poroid crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae.
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.
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.
Skeletocutis africana is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Described as new to science in 2006 by mycologists Leif Ryvarden and Peter Roberts, the fungus is found in Cameroon, where it grows on logs in tropical lowland rainforest environments. The type collection was made in Korup National Park, in South West Province.
Skeletocutis bambusicola is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It was described as new to science in 2012 by mycologists Li-Wei Zhou and Wen-Min Qin. It is found in southern China, where it grows on dead bamboo. The type collection was made in Mengla County, Yunnan Province. The specific epithet bambusicola refers to its growth on bamboo. At the time of publication, S. bambusicola was the 22nd Skeletocutis species recorded from China.
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.
Atraporiella is a monotypic fungal genus in the family Steccherinaceae. It contains the crust fungus Atraporiella neotropica, known only from Belize.
Nigroporus vinosus is a species of poroid fungus in the family Steccherinaceae, and the type species of the genus Nigroporus. Its fruit bodies have brownish caps with tinges of purple or red. The cap underside has a pore surface the same colour as the cap, and minute pores. Nigroporus vinosus has a pantropical distribution. It has been recorded from Africa, North America, Central America, South America, Asia, and Oceania. It is a wood-decay fungus that causes a white rot.
Fibroporia bohemica is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae.
Crustomyces subabruptus is a species of toothed crust fungus in the family Cystostereaceae.
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.
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.
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.

Mycorrhaphium citrinum is a species of tooth fungus in the family Steccherinaceae that is found in Africa. It was described as a new species in 1989 by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden. The type collection was made in Chati, a region in the Copperbelt Province in Zambia, where it was found growing in leaf litter.
Ceriporia amazonica is a species of crust fungus in the family Irpicaceae. Found in Brazil, it was described as new to science in 2014. The fungus is characterized by its salmon-coloured pore surface with angular pores numbering 1–3 per millimetre, and small ellipsoid spores that are among the smallest in genus Ceriporia. The type locality is Amapá National Forest, in the Brazilian Amazon, for which the species is named.
Antella niemelaei is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Steccherinaceae.
Trametes africana is a poroid bracket fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It was described as new to science in 2004 by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden. It is found in Africa, where it has been recorded from Cameroon, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda. The fungus is characterized by its perennial habit and hard woody fruit bodies that become reddish to bay in colour with a waxy surface texture around the base. The pore surface and context are brownish to yellowish. Spores made by the fungus are cylindrical, hyaline, and thin-walled, measuring 5–8 by 2.5–3.3 µm.
