Rhizochaete is a genus of nine species of poroid crust fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae. The genus is closely related to Phanerochaete. Aside from the widespread Rhizochaete radicata and the Asian species R. borneensis, most species of Rhizochaete fungi are found in North and South America.
==Taxonomy== The genus Rhizochaete was circumscribed by mycologists Alina Greslebin, Karen Nakasone, and Mario Rajchenberg in 2004. In addition to the newly described type species, Rhizochaete brunnea, five fungi previously placed in the genera Ceraceomyces and Phanerochaete were included in Rhizochaete. Three additional species were added by Brazilian researchers in 2016. Rhizochaete is closely related to Phanerochaete, in terms of both morphological characteristics and phylogenetic similarity.
