Grammothele is a genus of poroid crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae.
==Taxonomy== Circumscribed by mycologists Miles Joseph Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis in 1868, they considered the genus to combine the characteristics of Hymenogramme and Grandinia. The generic name combines the Ancient Greek words ("line" or "written character") and ("nipple").
