The Meripilaceae are a family of fungi in the order Polyporales. The family was circumscribed by Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich in 1982 with Meripilus as the type genus.[2] A 2008 estimate placed 7 genera and 57 species in Meripilaceae.[3] (As of April 2018), Index Fungorum accepts 74 species in the family.[4]
