Introduction

This section from Wikipedia:

Polyporales (earlier known as Aphyllophorales) are important decomposers of wood. They are basidiomycetes that lack soft gills (lamellae), but are also hymenomycetes as are boletes and agarics. This assemblage of fungi is polyphyletic, and hence this page will probably be replaced in due course with a more phylogenetically appropriate one.

Polyporales have a smooth hymenophore, or have pores such as the boletes, or teeth, or irregular gills. Major groups are the polypores and various coral fungi.
