The Meruliaceae are a family of fungi in the order Polyporales. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contains 47 genera and 420 species. As of April 2018, Index Fungorum accepts 645 species in the family.
The Phanerochaetaceae are a family of mostly crust fungi in the order Polyporales.
Dichomitus is a genus of poroid crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed by English mycologist Derek Reid in 1965.
Athelia is a genus of corticioid fungi in the family Atheliaceae. Some species are facultative parasites of plants and of lichens. The widespread genus contains 28 species. However, Athelia rolfsii was found to belong in the Amylocorticiales in a molecular phylogenetics study, but has yet not been renamed.
The corticioid fungi are a group of fungi in the Basidiomycota typically having effused, smooth basidiocarps that are formed on the undersides of dead tree trunks or branches. They are sometimes colloquially called crust fungi or patch fungi. Originally such fungi were referred to the genus Corticium and subsequently to the family Corticiaceae, but it is now known that all corticioid species are not necessarily closely related. The fact that they look similar is an example of convergent evolution. Since they are often studied as a group, it is convenient to retain the informal (non-taxonomic) name of "corticioid fungi" and this term is frequently used in research papers and other texts.
Serpulomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Amylocorticiaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Serpulomyces borealis, found in Europe. Serpulomyces was described by Ivan Zmitrovich in 2002.
Podoserpula is a genus of fungi in the family Amylocorticiaceae. The genus contains two species: the type, P. pusio, commonly known as the pagoda fungus, and the "Barbie pagoda", P. miranda, officially published in 2013. Podoserpula species produce fruit bodies consisting of up to a dozen caps arranged in overlapping shelves, attached to a central axis. Its unique shape is not known to exist in any other fungi. Four varieties of P. pusio are known, which differ in their sizes, spore morphology, and distribution. The genus is known to occur in Australia and New Zealand, Venezuela, Madagascar, and New Caledonia.
Irpicodon is a genus of fungi in the family Amylocorticiaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Irpicodon pendulus, found in Europe.
Amyloxenasma is a genus of corticioid fungi in the family Amylocorticiaceae. The widely distributed genus contains six species.
Amylocorticium is a genus of resupinate (crust-like) fungi in the Amylocorticiaceae family. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains 11 species.
Amylocorticiellum is a genus of fungi in the family Amylocorticiaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains four species.
Amyloathelia is a genus of fungi in the family Amylocorticiaceae. The genus contains three species distributed in Europe and South America.
Amylocorticiales is an order of fungi in the class Agaricomycetes. The order was circumscribed in 2010 to contain mostly resupinate (crust-like) forms that have been referred to genera Anomoporia, Amyloathelia, Amylocorticiellum, Amylocorticium, Amyloxenasma, Anomoloma, Athelia, Athelopsis, Ceraceomyces, Hypochniciellum, Leptosporomyces and Serpulomyces.
Athelopsis is a genus of corticioid fungi in the family Amylocorticiaceae. The widespread genus, estimated to contain 10 species, is polyphyletic as currently circumscribed.
Hypochniciellum is a genus of corticioid fungi in the family Amylocorticiaceae. Species in the genus have white to cream-colored, resupinate fruit bodies. The hypha have clamp connections. The spores are roughly elliptical, yellowish, and smooth.
Leptosporomyces is a genus of resupinate (crust-like) fungi in the family Amylocorticiaceae. The genus is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere and contains 11 species.
Glaziellaceae is a family of fungi in the order Pezizales that contains the single monotypic genus Glaziella. The type species Glaziella vesiculosa, originally collected in Cuba, was referred to the genus Xylaria by Miles Joseph Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis in 1869. A decade later, Berkeley circumscribed the genus Glaziella to contain a specimen collected in Brazil, apparently forgetting that he had earlier named it Xylaria aurantiaca.
Plicaturopsis crispa, the crimped gill or crispling, is a saprotrophic species of fungus in the genus Plicaturopsis that can be found in temperate regions year-round, often on hazel, alder, and beech trees.
The Platygloeales are an order of rust fungi in the class Pucciniomycetes. It contains two families, the Eocronartiaceae and also the Platygloeaceae.
