Spongipellis

Spongipellis is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus is widely distributed[1] and contains ten species.[2] The genus was circumscribed by French mycologist Narcisse Théophile Patouillard in 1887.[3] The genus name combines the Latin words spongia ("sponge") and pellis ("skin").[4]
