Meripilaceae
The Meripilaceae are a family (biology), family of fungi in the order Polyporales. The family was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich in 1982 with ''Meripilus'' as the type (biology), type genus. A 2008 estimate placed 7 genera and 57 species in Meripilaceae. , Index Fungorum accepts 74 species in the family.

Polyporales Families
The Polyporales are an order of about 1,800 species of fungi in the division Basidiomycota. The order includes some (but not all) polypores as well as many corticioid fungi and a few agarics (mainly in the genus ''Lentinus''). Many species within the order are saprotrophic, most of them wood-rotters. Some genera, such as ''Ganoderma'' and '' Fomes'', contain species that attack living tissues and then continue to degrade the wood of their dead hosts. Those of economic importance include several important pathogens of trees and a few species that cause damage by rotting structural timber. Some of the Polyporales are commercially cultivated and marketed for use as food items or in traditional Chinese medicine. Taxonomy History The order was originally proposed in 1926 by Swiss mycologist Ernst Albert Gäumann to accommodate species within the phylum Basidiomycota producing basidiocarps (fruit bodies) showing a gymnocapous mode of development (forming the spore-bearing surface e ...

Henningsia
''Henningsia'' is a fungal genus in the family Meripilaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1895 by Alfred Möller with ''Henningsia geminella'' as the type; this species is now known as '' H. brasiliensis''. The generic name honours German mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings Paul Christoph Hennings (November 27, 1841 – October 14, 1908) was a German mycologist and herbarium curator. He discovered the study of cryptogams and mushrooms as a volunteer at the botanical garden. Although circumstances initially prevente ....

Meripilus Giganteus
''Meripilus giganteus'' is a polypore fungus in the family Meripilaceae. It causes a white rot in various types of broadleaved trees, particularly beech (''Fagus''), but also ''Abies'', ''Picea'', ''Pinus'', ''Quercus'' and ''Ulmus'' species. This bracket fungus, commonly known as the giant polypore or black-staining polypore, is often found in large clumps at the base of trees, although fruiting bodies are sometimes found some distance away from the trunk, parasitizing the roots. ''M. giganteus'' has a circumboreal distribution in the northern Hemisphere, and is widely distributed in Europe. In the field, it is recognizable by the large, multi-capped fruiting body, as well as its pore surface that quickly darkens black when bruised or injured. Description The basidiocarps consist of numerous rosette-like flattened fan-shaped pilei; they are typically , rarely in diameter and , rarely high. The individual caps, up to , rarely in diameter and thick, arise from a commobasalst ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rigidoporus
''Rigidoporus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Meripilaceae. Many of the species in this genus are plant pathogens. The widespread genus, which contains about forty species, was originally circumscribed by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1905. The generic name combines the Latin word ''rigidus'' ("rigid") with the Ancient Greek Ancient Greek (, ; ) includes the forms of the Greek language used in ancient Greece and the classical antiquity, ancient world from around 1500 BC to 300 BC. It is often roughly divided into the following periods: Mycenaean Greek (), Greek ... word ("pore").

Physisporinus
''Physisporinus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Meripilaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Finish mycologist Petter Karsten Petter Adolf Karsten (16 February 1834 – 22 March 1917) was a Finnish mycologist, the foremost expert on the fungi of Finland in his day, and known in consequence as the "father of Finnish mycology".

Grifola
''Grifola'' is a genus of fungi in the family Meripilaceae, which includes some edible fungi such as ''Grifola frondosa'', commonly known as hen-of-the-woods (or maitake in Japan); not to be confused with ''Laetiporus sulphureus'', known among English speakers as chicken of the woods. The genus was circumscribed by Samuel Frederick Gray Samuel Frederick Gray (10 December 1766 – 12 April 1828) was a British botanist, mycologist, and pharmacologist.

Genera
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus '' Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should clearly demonstrate both monophyly and validity as a separate lineag ...

Index Fungorum
''Index Fungorum'' is an international project to index all formal names (scientific names) in the fungus kingdom. As of 2015, the project is based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, one of three partners along with Landcare Research and the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is somewhat comparable to the International Plant Names Index (IPNI), in which the Royal Botanic Gardens is also involved. A difference is that where IPNI does not indicate correct names, the ''Index Fungorum'' does indicate the status of a name. In the returns from the search page, a currently correct name is indicated in green, while others are in blue (a few, aberrant usages of names are indicated in red). All names are linked to pages giving the correct name, with lists of synonyms. ''Index Fungorum'' is one of three nomenclatural repositories recognized by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi; the others are '' MycoBank'' and '' Fungal Names''. As of 2023, over a millio ...
