Phanerochaetaceae

A taxonomic family within the order Polyporales – Certain crust fungi and related species.

First conceived in 1958 by Swedish mycologist John Eriksson as the subfamily Phanerochaetoideae of family Corticiaceae. Later published validly in 1986 by Estonian mycologist Erast Parmasto.
Raised to family status in 1982 by Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich.
In 2007, Karl-Henrik Larsson proposed using the name "Phanerochaetaceae" to refer to the clade of crust fungi clustered near genus Phanerochaete.
A more extensive molecular phylogenetics analysis in 2013 showed Phanerochaetaceae to be a subclade of the large phlebioid clade, which also includes members of the families Meruliaceae and Irpicaceae.
The genus Phanerochaete was revised in 2015 and new genera were added in 2016.
