Candelabrochaete is a genus of crust fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae.

Taxonomy

[edit]

The genus was circumscribed by French mycologist Jacques Boidin in 1970. He originally included two species, C. langloisii, and the type, C. africana.[1]

Description

[edit]

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.[2]

Species

[edit]

As of May 2018, Index Fungorum accepts 12 species in Candelabrochaete:[3]
