Abortiporus is a genus of fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The widely distributed genus contains three species. Species in the genus grow on the wood of hardwoods and conifers, either alone or around the stumps and living trees. It causes a white rot in dead wood and a white trunk rot in living wood. The genus was circumscribed in 1904 by William Alphonso Murrill. The generic name is derived from the Latin abortus (arrested development of any organ) and the Ancient Greek (pore).

Phlebia is a genus of mostly crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution. Phlebia species cause white rot.

Mycoacia is a genus of toothed crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae. It was circumscribed by Dutch mycologist Marinus Anton Donk in 1931.

Aurantiporus is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Meruliaceae. Circumscribed by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1905, the genus contains five species found mostly in northern temperate regions. Molecular analysis of several Aurantiporus species suggests that the genus is not monophyletic, but some other related polypore species need to be sequenced and studied before appropriate taxonomic changes can be made. In 2018, Viktor Papp and Bálint Dima proposed a new genus Odoria to contain Aurantiporus alborubescens based on multigene phylogenetic analyses. The generic name is de

Merulius is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Meruliaceae. , Index Fungorum accepts two species in Merulius: M. debriscola, and the type, M. tremellosus.

Crustoderma is a genus of crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae.

Scopuloides is a genus of five species of crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae.

Hypochnicium is a genus of corticioid fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus was circumscribed by mycologist John Eriksson in 1958.

Gyrophanopsis is a fungal genus in the family Meruliaceae. Circumscribed by Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich in 1979, the genus contains two species of crust fungi: the type, Gyrophanopsis zealandica, and G. polonensis, added to the genus in 1991.

Sarcodontia is a genus of toothed fungi in the family Meruliaceae. It was circumscribed by Hungarian–Croatian mycologist Stephan Schulzer von Müggenburg in 1866, with Sarcodontia mali as the type species.

Cerocorticium is a genus of seven species of crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae.

Podoscypha is a genus of fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in tropical regions, and contains about 35 species.

Radulodon is a genus of toothed crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1972 by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden, with R. americanus as the type species.

Hydnophlebia is a genus of five species of toothed crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae. All species are wood-decay fungi that cause a white rot.

Mycoaciella is a genus of corticioid fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus was circumscribed by John Eriksson and Leif Ryvarden in 1978. After microscopic examination of the three species then in the genus, Karen Nakasone proposed to synonymize Mycoaciella with Phlebia.

Conohypha is a genus of two species of fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich in 1975. The crust-like fruit bodies of Conohypha are white to cream in colour and membrane-like. The hyphal system is monomitic, meaning it contains only generative hyphae. These hyphae are hyaline with thin walls, and have clamp connections.

Mycoleptodonoides is a genus of tooth fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus was circumscribed by M.I. Nikolajeva in 1952 with M. vassiljevae, described from Ussuri, Russia, as the type species. This fungus, known only from the type locality and northern China, is little known. The more widely distributed M. aitchisonii is found in habitats ranging from subtropical to boreal. The generic name combines the name Mycoleptodon and the Greek root -oides, meaning "resembling".

Diacanthodes is a genus of three species of poroid fungi in the family Meruliaceae.

Cymatoderma is a widely distributed genus of poroid fungi in the family Meruliaceae.

Uncobasidium is a genus of two species of crust fungi in the Meruliaceae family . The genus was circumscribed by mycologists Kurt Hjorstam and Leif Ryvarden in 1978 with the European fungus U. luteolum as the type species. The South American species U. roseocremeum was added to the genus in 2012. The distinguishing feature of Uncobasidium is the basal hook in the basidium.

Bulbillomyces is a fungal genus of uncertain familial placement in the order Polyporales. Bulbillomyces is monotypic, containing the single species Bulbillomyces farinosus, a crust fungus. The genus was circumscribed by the Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich in 1974. The fungus was reported as new to Japan in 2002.

Niemelaea is a genus of poroid crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Russian mycologists in 2015 to contain three fungi formerly placed in the genus Ceriporiopsis. Niemelaea fungi are characterized by their crust-like fruit body, large, thin-walled angular pores, and a monomitic hyphal system. Spores made by these fungi are ellipsoid and have refractive contents. The genus is named in honour of Finnish mycologist and polypore specialist Tuomo Niemelä, who described the species Ceriporiopsis balaenae.

Lilaceophlebia is a genus of three species of crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus was first proposed by Erast Parmasto in 1968 as a section of the genus Phlebia. Viacheslav Spirin and Ivan Zmitrovich elevated the taxon to generic status in 2004.
