An extensive group of annual to perennial Polyporus species, exhibiting a large variety of species and shapes, fruit-bodies shell-shaped, fan-shaped, broadly spatula-shaped or tongue-shaped, or flattened funnel-shaped, saddle-shaped, hoof-shaped or bracket-like, occasionally imbricated, with a poroid (27.jpg) (28.jpg) or lamelliform (334.jpg) hymenium.
The different genera are often catagorised separately or as a group within the different families.
Therefore it is better to speak of the family of Polyporaceae in a broad sense.
