Steccherinaceae
The Steccherinaceae are a family of about 200 species of fungi in the order Polyporales. It includes crust-like, toothed, and poroid species that cause a white rot in dead wood. Taxonomy The family was circumscribed by Estonian mycologist Erast Parmasto in 1968. Parmasto's original concept included species that are today classified in the Agaricales, Hymenochaetales, Polyporales, and Russulales. A large-scale molecular study published in 2012 by Otto Miettinen and colleagues redefined the limits of the Steccherinaceae to include most species of the poroid and hydnoid genera '' Antrodiella'', '' Junghuhnia'', and ''Steccherinum'', as well as members of 12 other hydnoid and poroid genera. These genera were traditionally classified in the families Phanerochaetaceae, Polyporaceae, and Meruliaceae. They commented: "we see the need for at least 30 monophyletic, morphologically distinguishable genera. These include no fewer than 15 new genera for both polypores and hydnoid fungi, an ...

Trulla
''Trulla'' is a fungal genus in the family Steccherinaceae containing six species of polypores. It was circumscribed by mycologists Otto Miettinen and Leif Ryvarden in 2016, as a continuation of prior work that outlined a revised framework for the Steccherinaceae based on molecular phylogenetics. Its closest relative in the Steccherinaceae is the genus '' Nigroporus'', from which it differs in its light-coloured fruit bodies and monomitic context. The generic name ''Trulla'', from the Latin word for a type of pan with handle (for which see Staffordshire Moorlands Pan), alludes to the spatulate (spoon-like) shape of the fruit bodies. Microscopic characteristics of the genus include spores that are curved and cylindrical, cyanophilic skeletal hyphae (staining blue if the microscopic stain Lactophenol Cotton Blue is applied) and slightly thick-walled, wide generative hyphae in the context. Species ''Trulla'' contains six species that were transferred from various other polypore ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Polyporales
The Polyporales are an order (biology), order of about 1,800 species of fungi in the division (mycology), 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-decay fungus, 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 plant pathology, pathogens of trees and a few species that cause damage by rotting structural timber. Some of the Polyporales are commercially Fungiculture, 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 bod ...

Mycorrhaphium
''Mycorrhaphium'' is a genus of fungi in the family Steccherinaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Dutch mycologist Rudolph Arnold Maas Geesteranus in 1962. The type species is ''Mycorrhaphium adustum'' (formerly referred to ''Hydnum''). Fruit bodies of species in the genus have caps, stipes, and a hydnoid (tooth-like) hymenophore. There is a dimitic hyphal system, where the skeletal hyphae are found only in the tissue of the "teeth", and a lack of cystidia. The spores are smooth, hyaline (translucent), and inamyloid. Walter Jülich created the family Mycorrhaphiaceae to contain the type genus ''Mycorrhaphium''. This family is now placed in synonymy with Steccherinaceae.

Butyrea
''Butyrea'' is a genus of two species of crust fungi in the family Steccherinaceae. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by Finnish mycologist Otto Miettinen in 2016 with ''Butyrea luteoalba'' as the type species. This fungus was originally described as ''Physisporus luteoalbus'' by Petter Karsten in 1887. The generic name, derived from the Latin word ''butyrum'' ("butter"), refers to the oil-containing cells (gloeocystidia) that are characteristic of the genus. Description ''Butyrea'' species are poroid with annual, yellowish, crust-like basidiocarps and minute pores numbering 4–8 per millimetre. The hyphal system is dimitic, containing both generative hyphae (with clamps) and skeletal hyphae. The skeletal hyphae are moderately cyanophilous (with cell walls that absorb cotton blue stain), narrow and sinuous, measuring mostly less than 2.5 μm wide with a distinct lumen that is 1/3–1/2 of the width. Two types of cystidia are present: there are thin-walled gloeocystidia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Antella (fungus)
''Antella'' is a genus of three species of crust fungi in the family Steccherinaceae. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by Finnish mycologist Otto Miettinen in 2016 with '' Antella niemelaei'' as the type species. All three species were formerly classified in the polyphyletic genus '' Antrodiella''. This is reflected in the name ''Antella'', which is a "construct of letters from the genus name ''Antrodiella''." Description ''Antella'' species have light-coloured, crust-like fruit bodies with a poroid surface. They have a dimitic hyphal system, with both generative and skeletal hyphae, and clamp connections in the hyphae. The thin-walled spores are ellipsoid, measuring less than 4.5 by 2.5 μm The micrometre (Commonwealth English as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American English), also commonly known by the non-SI term micron, is a unit of length in the International System ....

Steccherinum
''Steccherinum'' is a widely distributed genus of hydnoid, toothed crust fungi in the family Steccherinaceae. Taxonomy ''Steccherinum'' was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by Samuel Frederick Gray in his 1821 work ''A Natural Arrangement of British Plants''. Description ''Steccherinum'' fungi have a range of basidiocarp, fruit body morphologies, including resupinate (crust-like), effused-reflexed (crust-like with the edges extending outwards to form caps), or pileus (mycology), pileate with either a stipe (mycology), stipe or only a stipe-like base. Species A 2008 estimate placed 33 species in ''Steccherinum''. , Index Fungorum accepts 50 species: *''Steccherinum agaricoides, S. agaricoides'' (Sw.) Banker (1906) *''Steccherinum aggregatum, S. aggregatum'' Hjortstam & Spooner (1990) – Sabah *''Steccherinum alaskense, S. alaskense'' Lindsey & Gilb.

Antrodiella
''Antrodiella'' is a genus of fungi in the family Steccherinaceae of the order Polyporales. Taxonomy ''Antrodiella'' was circumscribed by mycologists Leif Ryvarden Leif Randulff Ryvarden (born 9 August 1935) is a Norwegian mycologist. Early life and education Leif Ryvarden was born in Bergen as a son of Einar Norberg Johansen (1900–1959) and Hjørdis Randulff (1912–1975). He finished his secondary ed ... and I. Johansen in 1980. Of the seven original species it contained, only the type species, type, ''Antrodiella semisupina'', remains in the genus; most of the original species have since been transferred to ''Flaviporus''. ''Antrodiella'' was traditionally placed in the family Phanerochaetaceae until molecular phylogenetics, molecular studies were used to determine a more appropriate classification in the Steccherinaceae. The genus is a wastebasket taxon, containing "species that share common macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, but are not necessarily re ...
