Hjortstamia (original) (raw)

Hjortstamia is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae. It was circumscribed by French mycologists Jacques Boidin and Gilles Liège in 2003. The genus name of Hjortstamia is in honour of Kurt Egon Hjortstam (1933 - 2009), who was a Swedish botanist (Mycology) from the University of Gothenburg. Miettinen and colleagues consider Hjortstamia to be a taxonomy of Phlebiopsis based on molecular phylogenetics.
