Hyphodontia J. Erikss.
Index Fungorum number: IF 17826; MycoBank number: MB 17826
Notes – This genus is one of the largest genera in Schizoporaceae and was proposed by Eriksson (1958) with Hyphodontia pallidula (Bres.) J. Erikss as the type species. Species in this widespread genus commonly occur in temperate to tropical areas causing white rot. Hyphodontia are characterized by a monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, broadly-ellipsoid basidiospores (Eriksson 1958). In addition, the various shapes of cystidia elements are also important morphological characteristics for the identification in the genus.
