The Irpicaceae are a family of mostly polypores and crust fungi in the order Polyporales.

Contents

Taxonomy

The family was circumscribed in 2003 by mycologists Viacheslav Spirin and Ivan Zmitrovich. The type genus is Irpex . [1] Later multi-gene phylogenetic analyses of the Polyporales supported the use of this family. In these analyses, Irpicaceae is a sister taxon to the Meruliaceae; these two families, as well as the Phanerochaetaceae, form the phlebioid clade. [2] [3]

Description

Irpicaceae has both polypore and crust fungi. They have a monomitic hyphal system, containing only generative hyphae that do not have clamp connections. Their spores are thin-walled, smooth, and translucent. Cystidia are often absent from the hymenium. More rarely, some species are dimitic and/or with cystidia and/or clamp-connections present; for example, Emmia and Irpex have cystidia, and there are clamp connections in Gloeoporus. Irpicaceae fungi produce a white-rot, except for one brown-rot genus (Leptoporus). [3]

Genera

According to Justo and colleagues, several genera from various other Polyporales families contain species that should be in the Irpicaceae, and will need to be reclassified. These include: Candelabrochaete ( C. langloisii and C. septocystidia ), Ceraceomyces ( C. eludens , C. microsporus , and C. serpens ), Ceriporia ( C. lacerata ), Ceriporiopsis ( C. aneirina and C. resinascens ), Hapalopilus ( H. ochraceolateritius ), Phanerochaete ( P. allantospora , P. angustocystidiata , P. exilis , P. ginnsii , P. intertexta , P. leptoderma , and P. xerophila ), and Phlebia ( P. albida , P. albomellea , and P. nitidula .

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Polyporales</span> Order of fungi

The Polyporales are an order of about 1800 species of fungi in the division Basidiomycota. The order includes some polypores as well as many corticioid fungi and a few agarics. Many species within the order are saprotrophic, most of them wood-rotters. Some genera, such as Ganoderma and Fomes, contain species that attack living tissues and then continue to degrade the wood of their dead hosts. Those of economic importance include several important pathogens of trees and a few species that cause damage by rotting structural timber. Some of the Polyporales are commercially cultivated and marketed for use as food items or in traditional Chinese medicine.

<i>Byssomerulius</i> Genus of fungi

Byssomerulius is a widely distributed genus of crust fungi.

<i>Meruliopsis</i> Genus of fungi

Meruliopsis is a genus of poroid crust fungi. The genus was circumscribed by Russian mycologist Appollinaris Semenovich Bondartsev in 1959.

<i>Gloeoporus</i> Genus of fungi

Gloeoporus is a genus of crust fungi in the family Irpicaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution.

Hjortstamia is a genus of corticioid fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae. It was circumscribed by French mycologists Jacques Boidin and Gérard Gilles in 2003.

<i>Ceriporia</i> Genus of fungi

Ceriporia is a widely distributed genus of crust fungi.

<i>Antrodiella</i> Genus of fungi

Antrodiella is a genus of fungi in the family Steccherinaceae of the order Polyporales.

<i>Irpex</i> Genus of fungi

Irpex is a genus of corticioid fungi in the order Polyporales. Species produce fruit bodies that grow as a crust on the surface of dead hardwoods. The crust features an irpicioid spore-bearing surface, meaning it has irregular and flattened teeth. Irpex is distinguished from the similar genera Junghuhnia and Steccherinum by the simple septa found in the generative hyphae.

<i>Datronia</i> Genus of fungi

Datronia is a genus of poroid crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Marinus Anton Donk in 1966, with Datronia mollis as the type species. Datronia fungi cause a white rot in hardwoods. Datronia contains six species found in northern temperate areas. The most recent addition, Datronia ustulatiligna, was described in 2015 from Himachal Pradesh in India.

<i>Dentocorticium</i> Genus of fungi

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.

<i>Leptoporus</i> Genus of fungi

Leptoporus is a genus of polypore fungi. The type species, Leptoporus mollis, is widespread throughout north temperate areas. The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek words λεπτός ("thin") and πόρος ("pore").

<i>Skeletocutis</i> Genus of fungi

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.

<i>Hydnopolyporus</i> Genus of fungi

Hydnopolyporus is a genus of two species of fungi. The genus was circumscribed in 1962 by English mycologist Derek Reid with H. fimbriatus as the type species.

<i>Fibroporia</i> Genus of fungi

Fibroporia is a genus of ten species of poroid crust fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae. The genus contains species similar to those in genus Antrodia, but they are phylogenetically distinct.

<i>Byssomerulius corium</i> Species of fungus

Byssomerulius corium is a common species of crust fungus in the family Irpicaceae. The fungus was first described as Thelephora corium by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in 1801. Erast Parmasto made it the type species of his newly circumscribed genus Byssomerulius in 1967.

Efibula is a genus of 16 species of crust fungi in the family Irpicaceae.
