Order Polyporales Gäum.

[polypores in part & some corticioids]

This is the main group of the polypores but some are found in other orders. There are other mushroom types included here besides poroid forms. Four main clades (groups) have been recognized plus several smaller clades and genera. Justo et al. (2017) proposed a classification of 18 families plus 3 clades with informal names and a few unassigned taxa; this is a framework for further revision. Some poorly known families await further DNA analysis to place them and are not listed here (Justo et al. 2017). Much work remains to be done at the generic level. Some genera are polyphyletic and genus concepts and boundaries must be worked out. See the cited papers for complete list of genera. Selected genera are below (not all of these are recorded for Chicago Region).

The phlebioid clade contains members of Phanerochaetaceae, Meruliaceae, and Irpicaceae. Some (former) members of these families however fall outside this clade and are part of the so-called residual polyporoid clade. The members of the families were mixed together in DNA phylogenies.

    5. Meripilaceae (Meripilus, Rigidoporus sensu stricto)
    6. Podoscyphaceae (Abortiporus, Podoscypha, Pouzaroporia)
    7. hypochnicium clade (Hypochnicium, Bulbillomyces); and climacocystis clade (Climacocystis, Diplomitoporus, Rickiopora)

In April 2013 Otto Miettinen built out the Polypore page on Wikipedia. As with Alfredo Justo’s Volvopluteus pages, this was submitted in response to the FESIN-sponsored competition for travel awards to the MSA meeting in Austin Texas.
