Irpicaceae
The Irpicaceae are a family of mostly polypores and crust fungi in the order Polyporales. Taxonomy The family was circumscribed in 2003 by mycologists Viacheslav Spirin and Ivan Zmitrovich. The type genus is '' Irpex''. 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. 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 (' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Irpex
''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 (for which the genus is named), 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. Classification Although ''Irpex'' has been classified in the family Steccherinaceae, or the Meruliaceae, phylogenetic analysis has shown that its type species, '' Irpex lacteus'', is more closely related to '' Byssomerulius'' in the Phanerochaetaceae. Justo and colleagues support a 2003 proposal that places ''Irpex'' as the type genus of family Irpicaceae.

Gloeoporus
''Gloeoporus'' is a genus of crust fungi in the family Irpicaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution. Taxonomy ''Gloeoporus'' was created by French mycologist Camille Montagne in 1842 to contain the subtropical species ''Gloeoporus conchoides''. The fungus is now known as '' Gloeoporus thelephoroides''. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek words ("sticky") and ("pore"). Although traditionally classified in the family Meruliaceae, molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of ''Gloeoporus '' in the Irpicaceae. A recent (2018) revision of the taxonomic status and generic limits of ''Gloeoporus'' using molecular phylogenetics revealed a polyphyletic genus, and the subsequent transfer of some species to '' Meruliopsis''. Description ''Gloeoporus'' fungi have pore surfaces featuring a pinkish white, cream, or orange to deep reddish colour. The pores are small. The texture of the fruit bodies surface is gelatinous when fresh, but becomes resinous and cartilag ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Efibula
''Efibula'' is a genus of 16 species of crust fungi in the family Irpicaceae. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by Sheng-Hua Wu in 1990 with '' Efibula tropica'' as the type species. ''Efibula'' contains ''Phlebia''-like fungi without clamp connections. Although traditionally classified in the family Phanerochaetaceae, recent molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of ''Efibula '' in the Irpicaceae. Species , Index Fungorum accepts 16 species in ''Efibula'': *'' Efibula americana'' Floudas & Hibbett (2015) *'' Efibula aurata'' (Bourdot & Galzin) Zmitr. & Spirin (2006) *'' Efibula avellanea'' (Bres.)

Ceriporia
''Ceriporia'' is a widely distributed genus of crust fungi. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by Dutch mycologist Marinus Anton Donk in 1930, with '' Ceriporia viridans'' as the type species. The generic name combines the Latin word ''cera'' ("wax") and the name ''Poria''. Molecular phylogenetic analyses have shown that ''Ceriporia'' is not monophyletic, despite an earlier study which suggested the contrary. The presence or absence of cystidia is not considered a phylogenetic character in delimiting the species of ''Ceriporia''. Although traditionally classified in the family Phanerochaetaceae, recent molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of ''Ceriporia '' in the Irpicaceae. Species A 2008 estimate placed 22 species in the genus. , Index Fungorum accepts 49 species of ''Ceriporia''. Twenty species occur in China; eighteen species are found in the neotropics. *'' Ceriporia alachuana'' (Murrill) Hallenb. (1979) – Dominican Republic *'' Ceriporia alania'' ...
