Loweomyces
''Loweomyces'' is a genus of six species of poroid fungi in the family Steccherinaceae (formerly placed in the Meruliaceae). Taxonomy It was originally circumscribed as a subgenus of ''Spongipellis'' by the Czech mycologists František Kotlaba and Zdeněk Pouzar in 1976. Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich promoted it to a genus segregate from ''Spongipellis'' in 1982, with two species: '' L. fractipes'' (the type), and '' L. wynneae''. Jülich thought the genus should be distinct from ''Spongipellis'' based on the larger basidia, the absence of skeletal hyphae, and smaller tubes. ''L. fractipes'' and ''L. wynneae'' have had their generic positions confirmed with molecular phylogenetics, and both group in the "residual polyploid clade", one of four main lineages of the Polyporales. The genus is named in honour of American mycologist and polypore specialist Josiah Lincoln Lowe. Description ''Loweomyces'' is distinguished by the ease of spore germination in g ...

''Loweomyces'' is a genus of six species of poroid fungi in the family Steccherinaceae (formerly placed in the Meruliaceae). Taxonomy It was originally Circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed as a subgenus of ''Spongipellis'' by the Czech mycologists František Kotlaba and Zdeněk Pouzar in 1976. Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich promoted it to a genus segregate from ''Spongipellis'' in 1982, with two species: ''Loweomyces fractipes, L. fractipes'' (the type species, type), and ''Loweomyces wynneae, L. wynneae''.
