Family Hymenochaetaceae Imazeki & Toki

Taxonomy

The DNA phylogeny of this clade is roughly equivalent to the previous concept for Family Hymenochaetaceae with the exclusion of Coltricia and Coltriciella. For the phylogeny and explanation of segregated genera see Wagner and Fischer (2002). Tura et al. explains why Xanthoporia with inclusion of X. radiata X. nodulosa and notably X. andersonii take priority over Mensularia. Glaeser and Nakasone (2010) explain why names change in this order.

There are three species in this family with the same epithet. Two of them were given new epithets when moved to Hymenochaete.

• Hymenochaete tabacina (Sowerby) Lév. falls outside of the clade Hymenochaete and was given a new genus name Pseudochaete but this name is illegitimate because there was already a genus Pseudochaete for algae; in 2016 the species was transferred to Hymenochaetopsis tabacina (Sowerby) S.H. He & Jiao Yang. Then an older valid genus name by Murrill was brought back into service, and now we have Hydnoporia tabacina (Sowerby) Spirin, Miettinen & K.H. Larss.
• Cyclomyces tabacinus (Mont.) Pat. appears related to Hymenochaete rather than Inonotus and thus given the new name Hymenochaete porioides T. Wagner & M. Fisch.
• Hydnochaete tabacina (Berk. & Curt.) Ryvarden was renamed as Hymenochaete odontoides S.H. He & Y.C. Dai.
