Name: Postia
Notes on Taxonomy: There are some fairly complicated nomenclatural and taxonomic issues around this genus. Whether Postia, Oligoporus, or Spongiporus is correct for a particular group of species depends on several issues. Much of this centers around whether the name “Postia” was validly published or not. See Oligoporus for further discussion. Sources: Walker J. 1996. An opinion on the validity of the generic name Postia Fries 1874 (Eumycota: Aphyllophorales).
