Aphyllophorales

The Aphyllophorales is an obsolete

poroid fungi.^[1]

History

The order Aphyllophorales was first proposed in 1922 by

Gasteromycetales and Heterobasidiomycetes

As originally conceived, the Aphyllophorales contained the

Polystictaceae, and Thelephoraceae.^[2] Most of these families are still current, albeit in an amended form.^[3]

Though many attempts were made to create a more natural classification of the Basidiomycota, the Aphyllophorales continued to be used (at least by some) until entirely superseded in the 1990s by classification systems based on

DNA sequences.^[1]
