- Taxonomy
- Additional genera need further study to determine if they belong in this family (Justo et al. 2017).
- Miettinen et al. (2018) examined the Postia caesia complex and described 10 new species. North America has seven taxa in this group. The Midwest "blue cheese polypore" that has a thick bracket with hairy upper surface appears to be Postia livens, newly described from New York.
