The Hymenochaetales are an

Phellinus linteus
, both of which are now commercially marketed.

Taxonomy

History

The order was proposed in 1977 to recognize the

cystidia, visible under a hand lens).[2]

Subsequent

genera Hyphodontia and Schizopora were later found to share this peculiarity,[5]
suggesting they might also be related to the Hymenochaetales, though morphologically dissimilar.

Current status

clades.[2] The core clade represents the traditional Hymenochaetaceae, excluding the genera Coltricia and Coltriciella; another clade includes the corticioid genera Lyomyces and Schizopora (Schizoporaceae), together with Coltricia and Coltriciella as a subclade; a further clade (Repetobasidiaceae) includes agaricoid Rickenella species,[6] the clavarioid Alloclavaria purpurea,[7] and various corticioid fungi, including the genus Repetobasidium; the three remaining clades consist of corticioid Hyphodontia species, corticioid Kneifiella species, and poroid Oxyporus species.[2]

Not all the species currently placed within the Hymenochaetales have dolipores with imperforate parenthosomes, so the order lacks any shared morphological characteristics.[2]

Habitat and distribution

Most fungi within the order are

ectomycorrhizal.[8] Agaricoid species of Rickenella and related genera are parasites of mosses and liverworts.[6] Distribution of the Hymenochaetales is cosmopolitan
.

Economic importance

Several wood decay fungi in the genera

both of which are commercially marketed as alternative medicines.

Genera incertae sedis

Several genera in the Hymenochatales are incertae sedis with respect to familial placement:
