The Xenasmataceae are a family of crust fungi in the order Polyporales. The family was circumscribed in 1966 by German mycologist Franz Oberwinkler with Xenasma as the type genus.[3] (As of April 2018), Index Fungorum accepts 28 species in the family.[4] Xenasmataceae fungi grow as saprobes on fallen wood and are known primarily from temperate areas.[5]
Description
Fruit bodies of Xenasmataceae fungi are usually crust-like, with a waxy or gelatinous texture. The fungi have a monomitic hyphal system, and the hyphae are frequently gelatinous. Spores are translucent, and often stain with Melzer's reagent.[5]
