'''''Candelabrochaete''''' is a genus of crust fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae.
==Taxonomy== The genus was circumscribed by French mycologist Jacques Boidin in 1970. He originally included two species, ''C. langloisii'', and the type, ''C. africana''.<ref name="Boidin 1970"/>
==Description== Similar to the genus ''Phanerochaete'', ''Candelabrochaete'' features simple septa in the subicular hyphae and at the base of the basidia, and hyaline, thin-walled, nonamyloid spores. Several features distinguish ''Candelabrochaete'' from ''Phanerochaete''. These include small, cylindrical to club-shaped (clavate) basidia, septate cystidia, a loosely interwoven subiculum (a mat of hyphae from which the fruitbody arises), and a loosely organized hymenium. This latter characteristic gives a farinaceous to woolly appearance to the fruitbodies.<ref name="Burdsall 1984"/>
==Species== {{As of|2018|May}}, Index Fungorum accepts 12 species in ''Candelabrochaete'':<ref name="CoL-Fungorum"/> *''Candelabrochaete adnata'' <small>Hjortstam (1995)</small><ref name="Hjortstam 1995"/> – Brazil *''Candelabrochaete africana'' <small>Boidin (1970)</small><ref name="Boidin 1970"/> – Africa *''Candelabrochaete cirrata'' <small>Hjortstam & Ryvarden (1986)</small><ref name="Hjortstam 1986"/> – Argentina; British Virgin Islands; Brunei; Ghana; Kenya; Taiwan *''Candelabrochaete dispar'' <small>Hjortstam & Ryvarden (1986)</small><ref name="Hjortstam 1986"/> – Argentina *''Candelabrochaete eruciformis'' <small>(G.Cunn.)
