Earliella is a fungal genus in the family Polyporaceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Earliella scabrosa. It is found in Hainan.
==Taxonomy== The genus was circumscribed by William Alphonso Murrill in 1905 with Earliella cubensis as the type species. The type collection was made in Cuba by Murrill and Franklin Sumner Earle, for whom the genus is named. Murrill also noted the presence of the fungus in Nicaragua, Mexico, and Jamaica. In a study of species described by Murrill, Leif Ryvarden determined that Earliella cubensis was the same species as Trametes scabrosus (Pers.) Cunn., a possibility mentioned by Murrill himself. Ryvarden and Robert Lee Gilbertson transferred Trametes scabrosus to Earliella in 1985.
