Phanerochaetaceae Julich

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. Producing a white rot (Chen et al. 2021). 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.
