Hjortstamia

Hjortstamia is a genus of corticioid fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae.

It was circumscribed by French mycologists Jacques Boidin and Gérard Gilles in 2003.

[1] The genus name of Hjortstamia is in honour of Kurt Hjortstam (1933 - 2009), who was a Swedish mycologist from the University of Gothenburg.

[2] Miettinen and colleagues consider Hjortstamia to be a synonym of Phlebiopsis based on molecular phylogenetics.
