Datronia is a genus of poroid crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae.
The genus was circumscribed by Marinus Anton Donk in 1966, with Datronia mollis as the type species.
[1] The most recent addition, Datronia ustulatiligna, was described in 2015 from Himachal Pradesh in India.
[3] Datronia is in the core polyporoid clade, a phylogenetic grouping of species first identified by Binder and colleagues in 2005.
[6] In 2014, Datronia scutellata was transferred to the new genus Datroniella when molecular analysis showed that it was not closely related to D. mollis and D.
