- Taxonomy
- This clade contains some taxa currently named as Phanerochaete and Phlebia, which will have to be moved to new genera. The type species for Meruliopsis is M. taxicola. Index Fungorum (2016) and Binder et al. (2013) use the name Gloeoporus taxicola but this species is not close to the type for Gloeoporus (G. conchoides = G. thelephoroides). Justo et al. (2017) place the taxon Ceriporiopsis aneirina (Raduliporus) here in the Irpicaceae, which argues against it being a Radulodon, which they place in the Cerrenaceae.
