Meruliopsis Bondartsev.
Index Fungorum number: IF18050; Mycobank number: MB 18050
Notes – Meruliopsis typified by M. taxicola has long been considered to be a synonym of Gloeoporus (Ryvarden and Gilbertson 1993), but molecular phylogeny supported Meruliopsis as an independent genus (Justo et al. 2017). Chen et al. (2020b) redelimited the taxonomic concept of Meruliopsis according to phylogenetic analyses. Meruliopsis is characterized by resupinate to effused-reflexed basidiomes with merulioid to poroid hymenophore, a monomitic hyphal system with simple septate generative hyphae, and ellipsoid to cylindrical, or cylindrical to allantoid basidiospores (Chen et al. 2020b).
