Amylocorticium Pouzar, Česká Mykol. 13(1): 11 (1959)
Notes – Amylocorticium is characterized by resupinate basidiocarps with a smooth hymenophore, lack of cystidia, ellipsoid to allantoid basidiospores with amyloid reactions in Melzer's reagent and causing a brown rot on wood (Pouzar 1959; Hjortstam 1980; Gilbertson and Lindsey 1989; Bernicchia and Gorjón 2010). At present, the genus includes about twelve species, but the status of several species needs to be further clarified. The few sequenced species including the type, A. subsulphureum (P. Karst.) Pouzar, formed a moderately supported lineage in Amylocorticiales (Binder et al. 2010; Song et al. 2016; Chikowski et al. 2017).
