B. cinerea B. fuligineoalba B. mollis B. violascens Bankera is a genus of four species of tooth fungi in the family Bankeraceae.
The genus was first circumscribed in 1951 by William Chambers Coker and Alma Holland Beers,[1] but this publication was invalid according to the rules of botanical nomenclature.
[3] Fruitbodies of Bankera species are fleshy, usually with a centrally-placed stipe, and greyish-brown spines on the hymenial undersurface.
The texture of the flesh ranges from soft to tough, but it lacks the zones associated with some other Bankeraceae genera.
Bankera has a monomitic hyphal system with brownish to hyaline, inflated generative hyphae.
