Polyporus Udus
''Polyporus'' is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. Taxonomy Italian botanist Pier Antonio Micheli introduced the genus in 1729 to include 14 species featuring fruit bodies with centrally-placed stipes, and pores on the underside of the cap. The generic name combines the Ancient Greek words ("many") and ("pore"). Elias Fries divided ''Polyporus'' into three subgenera in his 1855 work ''Novae Symbol Mycologici'': ''Eupolyporus'', ''Fomes'', and ''Poria''. In a 1995 monograph, Maria Núñez and Leif Ryvarden grouped 32 ''Polyporus'' species into 6 morphologically-based infrageneric groups: ''Admirabilis'', ''Dendropolyporus'', ''Favolus'', ''Polyporellus'', ''Melanopus'', and ''Polyporus'' '' sensu stricto''. The identity of the type species of ''Polyporus'' has long been a matter of contention among mycologists. Some have preferred '' P. brumalis'', some '' P. squamosus'', while others have preferred '' P. tuberaster''. Several molecular phy ...
