Candelabrochaete is a genus of crust fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae.
He originally included two species, C. langloisii, and the type, C. africana.
[1] Similar to the genus Phanerochaete, Candelabrochaete features simple septa in the subicular hyphae and at the base of the basidia, and hyaline, thin-walled, nonamyloid spores.
These include small, cylindrical to club-shaped (clavate) basidia, septate cystidia, a loosely interwoven subiculum (a mat of hyphae from which the fruitbody arises), and a loosely organized hymenium.
[2] As of May 2018[update], Index Fungorum accepts 12 species in Candelabrochaete:[3]
