Lopharia is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Károly Kalchbrenner and Peter MacOwan in 1881.[1]

Description

Fruit bodies of Lopharia fungi are crust like, to effused-reflexed (like a crust with the edges curled out to form caps). The sterile portion of the crust surface is tomentose, while the spore-bearing surface (the hymenium) is smooth or tuberculate. The colour ranges from greyish-white to cream to pale yellowish.[2]

Lopharia has a dimitic hyphal system, meaning that it contains both generative and skeletal hyphae. The generative hyphae have clamp connections. Basidia are club shaped with four sterigmata, and have a clamp at the base. Spores are cylindrical to ellipsoid in shape with a smooth surface. They are hyaline (translucent), and have oily contents.[2]

Species

A 2008 estimate placed 13 species in Lopharia.[3] As of May 2021Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., Index Fungorum accepts 15 species:[4]
