Abstract

[Extract] Recently, we revised the taxonomy of the brown-rot polypore family Fomitopsidaceae via seven- and three-gene datasets (Spirin & al. in Stud. Mycol. 107: 149–249. 2024). After considering different schemes for the reclassification of the family, we argued therein in favour of accepting three generic units only, i.e., the monotypic Anthoporia Karasiński & Niemelä (in Polish Bot. J. 61: 8. 2016), Antrodia P. Karst. (in Meddeland. Soc. Fauna Fl. Fenn. 5: 40. 1880) (as redefined by Runnel & al. in Mycologia 111: 871–883. 2019) and the Daedalea-Fomitopsis clade with 128 accepted species. For the latter, the oldest available generic name is Daedalea Pers. (Syn. Meth. Fung. 2: 499. 1801). However, adopting Daedalea would necessitate 100 new combinations under this generic name. Additionally, a species epithet change for at least 10 species would be necessary.
