Family Phanerochaetaceae
[part of phlebioid clade]
This family in the phlebioid clade contains a mixture of crusts and polypores. This family includes Bjerkanderaceae Jülich 1981 and Hapalopilaceae Jülich 1981. Miettinen et al. (2016) discusses ecology in relation to fruitbody form and says that the family lacks long-lived perennial fruiting bodies. Species reported for Chicago Region are listed below.

- Taxonomy
- The limits of the family are now defined by DNA phylogenies but various species require transfer to the appropriate genera. More stabilization of the genera was done by Floudas and Hibbett (2015), Miettinen et al. (2016), and Justo et al. (2017). The polypore Ceriporia inflata is nested within Phanerochaete (Miettinen et al. 2016).
