''Phlebia'' is a genus of mostly crust fungi in the family

Meruliaceae The Meruliaceae are a family of fungi in the order Polyporales. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contains 47 genera and 420 species. , Index Fungorum accepts 645 species in the family. Taxonomy The family was formally circumscribed by E ...

. The genus has a widespread distribution. ''Phlebia'' species cause white rot.

circumscribed In geometry, the circumscribed circle or circumcircle of a polygon is a circle that passes through all the vertices of the polygon. The center of this circle is called the circumcenter and its radius is called the circumradius. Not every polyg ...

studies have demonstrated that ''Phlebia'' is a collection of sometimes unrelated taxa that share some morphological similarities. In a 2015 study, Floudas and Hibbett identified a "core ''Phlebia'' clade" within the larger Phlebioid clade, containing ''P. radiata'', ''P. acerina'', ''P. floridensis'', ''P. setulosa'', ''P. brevispora'', and ''P. tremellosa''. A subsequent study suggested that ''P. lindtneri'', ''P. serialis'' and ''P. leptospermi'' should be added to this core group. ''Phlebia''-like fungi with aculei (spines) are often included in the genera ''
