Porostereum is a genus of poroid crust fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae. It was circumscribed by Czech mycologist Albert Pilát in 1937. [1]

A genus is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms, as well as viruses, in biology. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus.

Polypore group of fungi

Polypores are a group of fungi that form fruiting bodies with pores or tubes on the underside. They are a morphological group of basidiomycetes like gilled mushrooms and hydnoid fungi, and not all polypores are closely related to each other. Polypores are also called bracket fungi, and their woody fruiting bodies are called conks.

Phanerochaetaceae family of fungi

The Phanerochaetaceae are a family of mostly crust fungi in the order Polyporales.

Hjortstamia is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae. It was circumscribed by French mycologists Jacques Boidin and Gilles Liège in 2003. Miettinen and colleagues consider Hjortstamia to be a taxonomy of Phlebiopsis based on molecular phylogenetics.

Australohydnum is a genus of resupinate fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1978 by Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich with the Australian fungus Australohydnum griseofuscescens as the type species. A. dregeanum and A. castaneum were added to the genus in 1990 and 2006, respectively. Australohydnum griseofuscescens is now considered to be synonymous with Irpex vellereus.

Australicium is a genus of two species of crust fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae. The genus was circumscribed by mycologists Kurt Hjortstam and Leif Ryvarden in 2002 to contain the type species, A. singulare, which is found in New Zealand. The Venezuelan species A. cylindrosporum was added to the genus in 2005.

Amethicium is a fungal genus in the family Phanerochaetaceae. A monotypic genus, it contains the single species Amethicium rimosum, a crust fungus first reported from Tanzania in 1983. Amethicium is primarily characterized by its purple fruit body and a dimitic hyphal system. The felt-like tissue layer covering the substrate comprises a thin layer of densely intertwined skeletal hyphae.

<i>Hyphoderma</i> genus of fungi

Hyphoderma is a genus of crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae. It was circumscribed by German botanist Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Wallroth in 1833.

Hypochnicium is a genus of corticioid fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus was circumscribed by mycologist John Eriksson in 1958.

<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>Radulodon</i> genus of fungi

Radulodon is a genus of toothed crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1972 by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden, with R. americanus as the type species.

Steccherinum is a widely distributed genus of toothed crust fungi in the family Steccherinaceae.

Uncobasidium is a genus of two species of crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus was circumscribed by mycologists Kurt Hjorstam and Leif Ryvarden in 1978 with the European fungus U. luteolum as the type species. The South American species U. roseocremeum was added to the genus in 2012. The distinguishing feature of Uncobasidium is the basal hook in the basidium.

<i>Diplomitoporus</i> genus of fungi

Diplomitoporus is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The Dictionary of the Fungi estimated the widespread genus to contain 11 species; since then, the genus has grown with the additional of several newly described species, and some transfers from other genera. Diplomitoporus has been described as a wastebasket taxon, containing "species that share common macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, but are not necessarily related."

Xylodon is a genus of crust fungi in the family Schizoporaceae.

Phanerodontia is a genus of four species of crust fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae. The genus was circumscribed by mycologists Kurt Hjortstam and Leif Ryvarden in 2010 with Phanerodontia dentata as the type species.
