Phlebiporia is a fungal genus in the family Meruliaceae. It was proposed in 2013 by Chinese mycologists to contain the single species Phlebiporia bubalina, a crust fungus. This fungus has a monomitic hyphal system with simple septa, and dextrinoid and thick-walled generative hyphae. There are thin-walled quasi-binding hyphae in the subiculum (the mat-like layer of hyphae covering the substrate and supporting the fruit body). Phlebiporia makes spores that are small, smooth, and ellipsoid.[1]
