Pterulaceae

The Pterulaceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contained 99 species previously distributed among 12 genera. More recent data from molecular phylogenetic reconstruction showed that members of the genus Parapterulicium are unrelated to Pterulaceae and also polyphyletic. A new genus Baltazaria was created and both genera were moved to Russulales, to families Lachnocladiaceae and Peniophoraceae respectively.

Pterula is a genus of fungi in the Pterulaceae family. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in tropical regions, and contains about 50 species. One such species, Pterula sp. 82168, has yielded potential antifungal antibiotic properties.

Aphanobasidium is a genus of corticioid or crust fungi in the Radulomycetaceae family. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains several species. This genus was formally considered to be part of the Pterulaceae family.

Coronicium is a genus of fungi in the Pterulaceae family. The genus has a widespread distribution in north temperate areas, and contains five species: C. alboglaucum, C. gemmiferum, C. molokaiense, C. proximum, C. thymicola.

Radulomyces is a genus of crust fungi in the family Radulomycetaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains 11 species. It was circumscribed by Danish botanist Mads Peter Christiansen in 1960, with Radulomyces confluens as the type species. This genus was formally considered to be part of the Pterulaceae family.

Actiniceps is a genus of fungi in the Pterulaceae family. It has a widespread distribution in tropical regions.

Deflexula is a genus of tooth fungi in the family Pterulaceae.

Merulicium is a genus of fungi, tentatively placed in the Pterulaceae family. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Merulicium fusisporum.

Pterulicium is a genus of fungi in the Pterulaceae family. The genus was previously monotypic, containing the single species Pterulicium xylogenum, found in southeast Asia. However in 2020 a major reclassification of the Pterulaceae family occurred based on phylogenetic analysis and the Pterula genus was split into Pterula, Myrmecopterula, Pterulicium and Phaeopterula by the mycologists Caio A. Leal-Dutra, Bryn Tjader Mason Dentinger and Gareth W. Griffith.

Adustomyces is a fungal genus in the family Pterulaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single resupinate species Adustomyces lusitanicus (originally named Stereum repandum var. lusitanicum by Camille Torrend in 1913), found in Europe and Africa. Adustomyces was described by Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich in 1979.

Chaetotyphula is a genus of fungi in the Pterulaceae family. The genus is distributed largely in tropical areas, and contains seven species.

species of fungus

Allantula is a fungal genus in the family Pterulaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the singles species Allantula diffusa, found in Brazil. The genus and species were described by British mycologist E.J.H. Corner in 1952.
