Humphreya

H. coffeata H. eminii H. endertii H. lloydii Humphreya is a genus of four species of polypore fungi in the family Ganodermataceae.

The genus was circumscribed by Belgian mycologist René Léopold Steyaert in 1972.

[1] H. eminii was transferred to the genus (from Ganoderma) by Leif Ryvarden in 1980.

[2] Humphreya differs from Ganoderma by the velvety cap and stipe surfaces of its fruit bodies.

The generic name Humphreya honours Clarence John Humphrey (1882–1970), a scientist and mycologist specializing in wood-decay fungi.
