Ungulidaedalea is a fungal genus in the family Fomitopsidaceae. [2] The genus was circumscribed by Chinese mycologists in 2016 to contain the single species Ungulidaedalea fragilis, [1] a fungus that was described as new in 2014 with the name Fomitopsis fragilis. The holotype of this fungus was collected in Jianfengling Nature Reserve, in Ledong County ( Hainan). [3] The generic name Ungulidaedalea refers to the resemblance between this species and Daedalea, and also to the hoof-shaped (ungulate) form of the fruit body. [1] Ungulidaedalea fragilis has rather fragile fruit bodies with a dark brown crust and large angular pores (numbering 1–2 per millimetre) on the cap underside. Microscopic characteristics include its densely septated skeletal hyphae, and oblong- ellipsoid spores that measure 4–5.2 by 2.2–2.8 μm. [3]
