The Irpicaceae are a family of mostly polypores and crust fungi in the order Polyporales.
The family was circumscribed in 2003 by mycologists Viacheslav Spirin and Ivan Zmitrovich. The type genus is Irpex. [1] Later multi-gene phylogenetic analyses of the Polyporales supported the use of this family. In these analyses, Irpicaceae is a sister taxon to the Meruliaceae; these two families, as well as the Phanerochaetaceae, form the phlebioid clade. [2] [3]
Irpicaceae has both polypore and crust fungi. They have a monomitic hyphal system, containing only generative hyphae that do not have clamp connections. Their spores are thin-walled, smooth, and translucent. Cystidia are often absent from the hymenium. More rarely, some species are dimitic and/or with cystidia and/or clamp-connections present; for example, Emmia and Irpex have cystidia, and there are clamp connections in Gloeoporus. Irpicaceae fungi produce a white-rot, except for one brown-rot genus (Leptoporus). [3]
According to Justo and colleagues, several genera from various other Polyporales families contain species that should be in the Irpicaceae, and will need to be reclassified. These include: Candelabrochaete ( C. langloisii and C. septocystidia), Ceraceomyces ( C. eludens, C. microsporus, and C. serpens), Ceriporia ( C. lacerata), Ceriporiopsis ( C. aneirina and C. resinascens), Hapalopilus ( H. ochraceolateritius), Phanerochaete ( P. allantospora, P. angustocystidiata, P. exilis, P. ginnsii, P. intertexta, P. leptoderma, and P. xerophila), and Phlebia ( P. albida, P. albomellea, and P. nitidula.
