Phanerochaetaceae Jülich

Type genus.

Phanerochaete P. Karst.

Description.

Mostly corticioid species, along with a few resupinate or pileate polypores ( Wu et al. 2022 a; Zhao et al. 2024), and hydnaceous species; hyphal system usually monomitic, rarely dimitic; hyphae usually simple septate, rarely nodose septate; basidiospores thin-walled, smooth, colorless; cystidia often present.

Accepted genera. Alboefibula , Bjerkandera , Callosus , Cremeoderma , Crepatura , Donkia, Donkiella , Efibulella , Gelatinofungus , Geliporus , Hapalopilus , Hyphodermella , Odontoefibula , Oxychaete , Paradonkia , Neodonkiella , Phanerina , Phanerochaete , Phaeophlebiopsis , Phlebiopsis , Pirex , Porostereum , Quasiphlebia , Rhizochaete , Riopa , Roseograndinia , and Terana .

Notes.

The family Phanerochaetaceae was established by Jülich with the genus Phanerochaete as the type genus. This family belongs to the phlebioid clade within the order Polyporales and causes white rot ( Larsson 2007; Binder et al. 2013; Miettinen et al. 2016; Justo et al. 2017). In the current study, twenty-seven genera are accepted in Phanerochaetaceae , including two new genera of the present study of Paradonkia and Neodonkiella .
