Taxonomy

The fungus was first described scientifically in 1925 by American mycologist Cornelius Lott Shear as a species of Hydnum.[3] Kurt Hjortstam and Leif Ryvarden transferred it to the genus Hydnophlebia in 2009.[4] Harold Burdsall and Karen Nakasone proposed a transfer to Phanerochaete,[5] a classification endorsed by MycoBank.[6]
