Polyporales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Aphyllophorales)
Polyporales (earlier known as Aphyllophorales) are important decomposers of wood. They are basidiomycetes that lack soft gills (lamellae), but are also hymenomycetes as are boletes and agarics. This assemblage of fungi is polyphyletic. Polyporales have a smooth hymenophore, or have pores such as the boletes, or teeth, or irregular gills. Major groups are the polypores and various coral fungi.
