Phlebiopsis Jülich, Persoonia 10 (1): 137 (1978)
Index Fungorum number: IF 25478; Mycobank number: MB 25478
Note – Phlebiopsis was raised by Jülich (1978). Member of this genera are characterized by their resupinate to effused-reflexed basidiomata which are membranaceous to subceraceous when fresh that crack upon drying. The hymenophore may vary from smooth to poroid to odontoid pores. Hyphal system mostly monomitic and rarely dimitic with simple-septate generative hyphae. Presence of encrusted cystidia, clavate basidia and basidioles. Hyaline thin-walled, smooth, cylindrical to ellipsoid, acyanophilous and negative in Melzer’s reagent (Jülich 1978; Bernicchia and Gorjón 2010). An in-depth study of phylogeny by Zhao et al. (2021) revealed 24 lineages resolved inthe ITS phylogenetic tree.
