The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in [tropical](/source/Tropical) regions.[6] The name probably means *long-haired membrane* from the [Greek](/source/Greek_(language)) *hymen* meaning *membrane* and *chaite* meaning *long hair*. On the basis of sequence data, in 2002 the genus *[Pseudochaete](/source/Pseudochaete)* was constructed for *Hymenochaete tabacina*, as it was found to be more closely related to the poroid Hymenochaetales *[Onnia](/source/Onnia_(fungus))* and *[Porodaedalea](/source/Porodaedalea)*.[7] *Pseudochaete* is however considered illegitimate since it is preoccupied by an [algal](/source/Alga) genus.[8] ## Species -
