The '''Polyporales''' are an order of about 1,800 species of fungi in the division Basidiomycota. The order includes some (but not all) polypores as well as many corticioid fungi and a few agarics (mainly in the genus ''Lentinus''). Many species within the order are saprotrophic, most of them wood-rotters. Some genera, such as ''Ganoderma'' and ''Fomes'', contain species that attack living tissues and then continue to degrade the wood of their dead hosts. Those of economic importance include several important pathogens of trees and a few species that cause damage by rotting structural timber. Some of the Polyporales are commercially cultivated and marketed for use as food items or in traditional Chinese medicine.

==Taxonomy==

===History=== The order was originally proposed in 1926 by Swiss mycologist Ernst Albert Gäumann to accommodate species within the phylum Basidiomycota producing basidiocarps (fruit bodies) showing a gymnocapous mode of development (forming the spore-bearing surface externally). As such, the order included the ten families Brachybasidiaceae, Corticiaceae, Clavariaceae, Cyphellaceae, Dictyolaceae, Fistulinaceae, Polyporaceae, Radulaceae, Tulasnellaceae, and Vuilleminiaceae, representing a mix of poroid, corticioid, cyphelloid, and clavarioid fungi.<ref name="Gaumann1926"/>

In a series of publications in 1932, E. J. H. Corner explained the occurrence of different types of hyphae in the fruit bodies of polypore fungi. He introduced the concept of hyphal analysis, which later become a fundamental character in polypore taxonomy.<ref name="Corner 1932a"/><ref name="Corner 1932b"/><ref name="Corner 1932c"/>

The order Polyporales was not widely adopted by Gäumann's contemporaries; most mycologists and reference works preferring to use the catch-all, artificial order Aphyllophorales for polypores and other "non-gilled fungi". When an attempt was made to introduce a more natural, morphology-based classification of the fungi in the 1980s and 1990s, the order was still overlooked. A standard 1995 reference work placed most polypores and corticioid fungi in the Ganodermatales, Poriales, and Stereales.<ref name="Dictionary1995"/>

Families marked with (*) were newly created.<ref name="Justo et al. 2017"/> }} Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has resurrected and redefined the Polyporales (also known as the polyporoid clade).<ref name="Hibbett2006"/><ref name="Binderetal2005"/><ref name="Binder et al. 2013"/> Studies using a combination of rRNA gene sequences, single-copy protein-coding genes, <ref name="Garcia-Sandoval 2011"/><ref name="Miettinen 2012"/> and genome-based phylogenetic analyses have shown that the Polyporales are a monophyletic group.<ref name="Binder et al. 2013"/><ref name="Floudas et al. 2012"/><ref name="Justo et al. 2017"/> They are a member of the class Agaricomycetes, but have not been assigned to a subclass.<ref name="Kendrick 2017"/> Though the precise boundaries of the order and its constituent families are yet to be resolved, it retains the core group of polypores in the family Polyporaceae, with additional species in the Fomitopsidaceae and Meripilaceae. It also includes polypores in the Ganodermataceae, which were previously assigned to their own separate order, the Ganodermatales, based on their distinctive basidiospore morphology. Corticioid fungi belonging to the Cystostereaceae, Meruliaceae, Phanerochaetaceae, and Xenasmataceae are also included, as are the cauliflower fungi in the Sparassidaceae.<ref name="IndexFungorum"/>

In an extensive molecular analysis, Manfred Binder and colleagues analyzed 6 genes from 373 species and confirmed the existence of four previously recognized lineages of Polyporales: the antrodia, core polyporoid, phlebioid, and residual polyporoid clades.<ref name="Binder et al. 2013"/> Extending this work, Alfredo Justo and colleagues proposed a phylogenetic overview of the Polyporales that included a new family-level classification. They assigned family names to 18 clades and four informal unranked clades. The families are listed below, followed by their taxonomic authorities and year of publication:<ref name="Justo et al. 2017"/> *Phanerochaetaceae Jülich (1981) *Irpicaceae Spirin & Zmitr. (2003) *Meruliaceae Rea (1922) *Steccherinaceae Parmasto (1968) *Cerrenaceae Miettinen, Justo & Hibbett (2017) *Panaceae Miettinen, Justo & Hibbett (2017) *Hyphodermataceae Jülich (1981) *Meripilaceae Jülich (1981) *Podoscyphaceae D.A.Reid (1965) *Polyporaceae Corda (1939) *Fomitopsidaceae Jülich (1981) *Laetiporaceae Jülich (1981) *Dacryobolaceae Jülich (1981) *Sparassidaceae Jülich (1981) *Grifolaceae Jülich (1981) *Gelatoporiaceae Miettinen, Justo & Hibbett (2017) *Incrustoporiaceae Jülich (1981) *Ischnodermataceae Jülich (1981)

Other families that putatively belong to the Polyporales, but for which molecular confirmation is absent or lacking, include Diachanthodaceae Jülich, (1981); Fragiliporiaceae Y.C.Dai, B.K.Cui & C.L.Zhao (2015); Hymenogrammaceae Jülich (1981); and Phaeotrametaceae Popoff ex Piątek (2005).<ref name="Justo et al. 2017"/> The Nigrofomitaceae, formerly placed in the Polyporales, was shown to be nested as a distinct lineage within the Hymenochaetales.<ref name="Zhou 2018"/>

The family Steccherinaceae was redefined in 2012 to contain most species of the poroid and hydnoid genera ''Antrodiella'', ''Junghuhnia'', and ''Steccherinum'', as well as members of 12 other hydnoid and poroid genera that had been traditionally classified in the families Phanerochaetaceae, Polyporaceae, and Meruliaceae.<ref name="Miettinen 2012"/> Several new genera were added to the Steccherinaceae in 2016–17.<ref name="Miettinen 2016"/><ref name="Kotiranta 2017"/>

==Ecology== The order is cosmopolitan and contains around 1800 species of fungi worldwide—about 1.5% of all known fungus species.<ref name="Justo et al. 2017"/> All species in the Polyporales are saprotrophs, most of them wood-rotters. Their fruit bodies are therefore typically found on living or moribund trees or on dead attached or fallen wood. Polyporales species that fruit on the ground are either root rot species–such as ''Laetiporus cincinnatus'' and ''Grifola frondosa'', or are fruiting from buried pieces of substrate–such as ''Polyporus radicatus'' and ''P. melanopus''.<ref name="Volk 2000"/>

Wood-decay Polyporales reduce the volume of dead wood in the forest and are an important component of the carbon cycle.<ref name="Binder et al. 2013"/> Wood is composed of primarily three types of tissue: lignin, cellulose, and hemicelluloses. White rot species of Polyporales are efficient degraders of the decay-resistant polymer lignin, leaving partially degraded cellulose as a residue.<ref name="Binder et al. 2013"/> Brown rot species break down the cellulose fibres, leaving a brittle, brown lignin residue. Brown-rot residues such as humus can remain in the soil for hundreds of years, increasing aeration and water-holding capacity.<ref name="Alexopolous et al. 1996"/>

Peroxidase enzymes that degrade lignin, such as lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, or versatile peroxidase, are present in all white-rot members of the Polyporales, but absent in brown-rot species.<ref name="Floudas et al. 2012"/><ref name="Ruiz-Dueñas 2013"/><ref name="Floudas 2015"/> Oxidase enzymes, including members of the glucose-methanol-choline oxidoreductase family, play a key role in the breakdown of plant polymers because they generate hydrogen peroxide, which acts as the ultimate oxidizer in both white-rot and brown-rot decay.<ref name="Ferreira 2015"/>

Two species of Polyporales, ''Daedalea quercina'' and ''Fomitopsis pinicola'', use paralysing toxins to destroy and colonize nematodes that feed on their fruit bodies.<ref name="Soares et al. 2018"/>

Many wood-decay fungi in the genera ''Fomes'', ''Fomitopsis'' and ''Ganoderma'' are pathogenic, causing butt and root rot of living trees and consequent losses in forestry plantations. Several species, such as the mine fungus ''Fibroporia vaillantii'', can rot and damage structural timber.<ref name="Reinprecht 2016"/>

Several of the Polyporales, notably ''Ganoderma lucidum'' (ling-zhi), ''Grifola frondosa'' (maitake),<ref name="Ulbricht 2009"/> ''Taiwanofungus camphoratus'' (niú zhāng zhī),<ref name="Lee 2012"/> ''Lignosus rhinocerotis'',<ref name="Lau 2015"/> and ''Trametes versicolor'' (yun-zhi),<ref name="Ray & Ward 2008"/> are commercially cultivated and marketed for use in traditional Chinese medicine. The polypores ''Laetiporus sulphureus'', ''Fomes fomentarius'', ''Fomitopsis pinicola'', ''Fomitopsis betulina'', and ''Laricifomes officinalis'' have been widely used in central European folk medicine for the treatment of various diseases.<ref name="Grienke 2014"/>

Some species, including several members of the genera ''Laetiporus'' and ''Sparassis'', are used as food.<ref name="Kuo 2007"/> Blackfellow's bread, or ''Laccocephalum mylittae'', is an edible that is prized by Aboriginal Australians.<ref name="Newton 2016"/> ''Lentinus squarrosulus'' is collected and eaten in Asian and African communities.<ref name="Lau 2017"/>

''Fomitopsis betulina'' was formerly used in the manufacture of charcoal crayons.<ref name="McLean Cook 1951"/> Amadou, a spongy material derived from the fruit bodies of ''Fomes fomentarius'', has been used since ancient times as a tinder. More recently, it has been used by dentists as a styptic, or as a felt-like material for making hats and other items.<ref name="Pegler 2001"/> The anise-scented fruit bodies of ''Haploporus odorus'' were used by some tribes of Plains Indians as a component of sacred objects. ''Laricifomes officinalis'' was used by nineteenth century Pacific northwest shamans for carving spirit figures.<ref name="Blanchette 1997"/> Some species, including dyer's polypore (''Phaeolus schweinitzii'') and purple dye polypore (''Hapalopilus nidulans'') are used in mushroom dyeing.<ref name="Bessette 2001"/>

==Sequenced genomes== Several member of the Polyporales have had their genomes sequenced to help understand the genetic basis for the production of enzymes involved in the synthesis of bioactive compounds, or to elucidate the metabolic pathways of wood decay, including ''Ganoderma lucidum'',<ref name="Chen 2012"/> ''Lignosus rhinocerotis'',<ref name="Yap 2014"/> ''Dichomitus squalens'',<ref name="Floudas et al. 2012"/> ''Fomitopsis pinicola'',<ref name="Floudas et al. 2012"/> ''Trametes versicolor'',<ref name="Floudas et al. 2012"/> and ''Wolfiporia cocos''.<ref name="Floudas et al. 2012"/> Two sequenced fungi, ''Phanerochaete chrysosporium'',<ref name="Martinez 2004"/> and ''Postia placenta'',<ref name="Martinez 2009"/> serve as model species for researchers investigating the mechanism of white rot and brown rot, respectively.<ref name="Kameshwar 2017"/><ref name="Vanden Wymelenberg et al. 2010"/> {{As of|2017}}, there have been 46 Polyporales genomes sequenced, representing about 7% of all sequenced fungal genomes.<ref name="Justo et al. 2017"/>

==Fossil record== Fossilized fruit bodies of a ''Fomes'' species dating back to the Tertiary (66–2.6 Ma) were reported in Idaho in 1940.<ref name="Brown 1940"/> A fossil fruit body of ''Ganodermites libycus'' was reported from the Early Miocene (23–2.6 Ma) in the Libyan Desert. This specimen is the earliest convincing fossil evidence for the Polyporales.<ref name="Fleischmann 2007"/>

Molecular clock techniques have been used to estimate the age of the Polyporales, suggesting that the order evolved either during the late Jurassic, about 203–250 Ma,<ref name="Garcia-Sandoval 2011"/> or, in more recent study, about 114 Ma.<ref name="Zhao 2017"/>

==Genera ''Incertae sedis''== There are several genera classified in the Polyporales that for various reason have not been assigned to a specific family. They are ''incertae sedis'' with respect to familial placement. Some may be poorly known and/or not included in DNA phylogenetic studies, or when they have been, did not clearly group with any named family (In some cases a new family must be created rather than the placement clarified.). These include: *''Aegis'' Gómez-Montoya, Rajchenb. & Robledo (2017)<ref name="Gómez-Montoya 2017"/> *''Anthoporia'' Karasiński & Niemelä (2016)<ref name="Karasiński 2016"/> *''Bourdotiella'' Duhem & Schultheis (2011)<ref name="Duhem 2011"/> *''Crustodontia'' Hjortstam & Ryvarden (2005)<ref name="Hjorstam 2005"/> *''Crystallocystidium'' (Rick) Rick (1940) *''Donkioporiella'' L.W.Zhou (2016)<ref name="Qin 2016"/> *''Globosomyces'' Jülich (1980)<ref name="Jülich 1980"/> *''Globuliciopsis'' Hjortstam & Ryvarden (2004)<ref name="Hjortstam 2004"/> *''Irpicochaete'' Rick (1940)<ref name="Rick 1940"/> *''Meruliophana'' Duhem & Buyck (2011)<ref name="Duhem 2011b"/> *''Nigrohydnum'' Ryvarden (1987)<ref name="Ryvarden 1987"/> *''Phaeophlebiopsis'' D.Floudas & Hibbett (2015)<ref name="Floudas 2015"/> *''Phlebiella'' P.Karst.
