see text Phlebiella is a genus of crust fungi in the order Polyporales.
Phlebiella species are characterized by pleurobasidia and a lack of cystidia in the hymenium.
The genus is otherwise quite variable morphologically; for example, spores range from allantoid (sausage-shaped) to spherical, the surface ornamentation ranges from warted to smooth, and reaction with Melzer's reagent can be amyloid or inamyloid.
[1] Phlebiella was circumscribed by mycologist Petter Adolf Karsten in 1890.
[2] It was pointed out later by Marinus Anton Donk that Karsten did not publish the genus validly, as he did not include a give a generic description.
