Taxonomy

edit

The fungus was first described scientifically in 1925 by American mycologist Cornelius Lott Shear as a species of Hydnum.[4] Kurt Hjortstam and Leif Ryvarden transferred it to the genus Hydnophlebia in 2009.[5] Harold Burdsall and Karen Nakasone proposed a transfer to Phanerochaete,[6] a classification endorsed by MycoBank.[7]
