Favolus Fr.
Index Fungorum number: IF 829; MycoBank number: MB 829
Notes – Favolus was established by Fries (1828) with the type species, F. brasiliensis. Species of this genus are considered as wood decaying fungi. The basidiocarps of Favolus species are fleshy with radially arranged pores on the underside of the cap that are angular and deeply pitted, somewhat resembling a honeycomb. Earlier, Favolus was treated as a synonym of Polyporus (Nunez and Ryvarden 1995). Sotome et al. (2013) proposed new genus, Favolus based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic analysis.
