Thelephorales
The Thelephorales are an order (biology), order of fungi in the class (biology), class Agaricomycetes. The order includes corticioid fungi, corticioid and hydnoid fungi, together with a few polypores and clavarioid fungi, clavarioid species. Most fungi within the Thelephorales are ectomycorrhizal. None is of any great economic importance, though ''Sarcodon imbricatus'' is edible and commercially marketed, whilst several species have been used for craft dyeing. Taxonomy History Though "the Thelephorales" were referred to in passing by E.J.H. Corner in 1968, the order was not formally published till 1976 when German mycologist Franz Oberwinkler first described it as encompassing the family (biology), families Thelephoraceae and Bankeraceae. As originally conceived, species within the order had diverse basidiocarp (fruit body) forms, but shared several features in common, notably similarities in basidiospore shape (most having spiny to warted, often lobed spores) and similarities in ...

Polyozellus
''Polyozellus'' is a fungal genus in the family Thelephoraceae, a grouping of mushrooms known collectively as the leathery earthfans. Previously considered a monotypic genus, it now contains the ''Polyozellus multiplex'' species complex. The genus name is derived from the Greek ''poly'' meaning ''many'', and ''oz'', meaning ''branch''. It is commonly known as the blue chanterelle, the clustered blue chanterelle, or, in Alaska, the black chanterelle. The distinctive fruit body of this species comprises blue- to purple-colored clusters of vase- or spoon-shaped caps with veiny wrinkles on the undersurface that run down the length of the stem. ''Polyozellus'' has had a varied taxonomic history and has been reclassified several times at both the family and genus level. The range of ''Polyozellus'' includes North America and eastern Asia, where it grows on the ground of coniferous forests, usually under spruce and fir trees. It contains edible species, and has been harvested ...

''Thelephora'' is a genus of fungi in the family Thelephoraceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains about 50 species. Fruit bodies of species are leathery, usually brownish at maturity, and range in shape from coral-like tufts to having distinct caps. Almost all species in the genus are thought to be inedible, but ''Thelephora ganbajun'' is a gourmet fungus in Yunnan province of southwest China. The generic name is derived from the Greek Greek may refer to: Greece Anything of, from, or related to Greece, a country in Southern Europe: *Greeks, an ethnic group. *Greek language, a branch of the Indo-European language family. **Proto-Greek language, the assumed last common ancestor ...

Skepperia
''Skepperia'' is a genus of fungi in the family Thelephoraceae. The genus was described by mycologist Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1857 to contain the type species ''Skepperia convoluta''. The genus was circumscribed by Berkeley in Trans. Linn. Soc. London vol.22 on page 130 in 1857. The genus name of ''Skepperia'' is in honour of Edmund Skepper (1825–1867), who was a British botanist and chemist. Distribution It is only recorded as being found in a few places worldwide, America and New Zealand. Species As accepted by Species Fungorum ''Index Fungorum'' is an international project to index all formal names (scientific names) in the fungus kingdom. the project is based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, one of three partners along with Landcare Research and the Institute of M ...; * '' Skepperia andina'' * '' Skepperia convoluta'' * '' Skepperia platensis'' * '' Skepperia zeylanica'' Former species; * ''S. carpatica'' = '' Cotylidia carpatica'', Rickenellaceae family * ...

Amaurodon
''Amaurodon'' is a genus of fungi in the family Thelephoraceae. Most species in the genus have resupinate and corticioid (flattened, crust-like) fruit bodies that grow on rotting wood. The hymenophore may have pores, teeth, or be smooth, and is typically blue to green in color. Species The following is a list of species in this genus and their associated synonyms (=). * '' Amaurodon aeruginascens'' (Hjortstam & Ryvarden) Kõljalg & K.H.Larss. 1996 – South America ::= '' Tomentellago aeruginascens'' Hjortstam & Ryvarden * '' Amaurodon angulisporus'' Gardt & Yorou 2011 – West Africa * '' Amaurodon aquicoeruleus'' Agerer 2001 – Western Australia * '' Amaurodon atrocyaneus'' (Wakef.)

Polyozellus Multiplex
''Polyozellus multiplex'' is a species of fungus first described in 1899, and is commonly known as the blue chanterelle, the clustered blue chanterelle, or, in Alaska, the black chanterelle. The distinctive fruit body of this species comprises blue- to purple-colored clusters of vase- or spoon-shaped caps with veiny wrinkles on the undersurface that run down the length of the stem. It was considered the monotypic species of ''Polyozellus'' until recent molecular work split the species complex into five species. The genus name is derived from the Greek ''poly'' meaning ''many'', and ''oz'', meaning ''branch''. The specific epithet ''multiplex'' means "in many pieces", referring to the compound nature of the fruit body. ''P. multiplex'' may be found growing on the ground in coniferous forests, usually under spruce and fir trees. It is an edible species, and has been harvested for commercial purposes. ''P. multiplex'' contains the bioactive compound polyozellin, shown to hav ...

Basidiomycota Families
Basidiomycota () is one of two large divisions that, together with the Ascomycota, constitute the subkingdom Dikarya (often referred to as the "higher fungi") within the kingdom Fungi. Members are known as basidiomycetes. More specifically, Basidiomycota includes these groups: mushrooms, puffballs, stinkhorns, bracket fungi, other polypores, jelly fungi, boletes, chanterelles, earth stars, smuts, bunts, rusts, mirror yeasts, and ''Cryptococcus'', the human pathogenic yeast. Basidiomycota are filamentous fungi composed of hyphae (except for basidiomycota-yeast) and reproduce sexually via the formation of specialized club-shaped end cells called basidia that normally bear external meiospores (usually four). These specialized spores are called basidiospores. However, some Basidiomycota are obligate asexual reproducers. Basidiomycota that reproduce asexually (discussed below) can typically be recognized as members of this division by gross similarity to others, by the forma ...
