Phlebia is a genus of mostly crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution. Phlebia species cause white rot.
Taxonomy
Phlebia was circumscribed by Swedish mycologist Elias Fries in his 1821 work Systema Mycologicum. He included four species: P. merismoides, P. radiata, P. contorta, and P. vaga.
Several molecular studies have demonstrated that Phlebia is a collection of sometimes unrelated taxa that share some morphological similarities. In a 2015 study, Floudas and Hibbett identified a "core Phlebia clade" within the larger Phlebioid clade, containing P. radiata, P. acerina, P. floridensis, P. setulosa, P. brevispora, and P. tremellosa. A subsequent study suggested that P. lindtneri, P. serialis and P. leptospermi should be added to this core group.
Phlebia-like fungi with aculei (spines) are often included in the genera Mycoacia if they are monomitic, and Mycoaciella if they are dimitic or trimitic.
