Then, in 1922, Carleton Rea abandoned the genus Trogia and moved T. crispa into Plicatura in his book British Basdiomycetae.

[3] On the basis of a six-gene study, Binder and colleagues (2010)[7] erected a new order called Amylocorticales that confirmed the previous relationships[7] suggested in Eriksson et al (1981).

[3] Its worth noting that Merulius, Cantharellus, Trogia, and Plicatura are not closely related as previously thought but are instead from various different orders[3] (Polporales, Cantharellales, Agaricales, and Amylocorticales respectively).

[3] Plicaturopsis crispa is an effective participant in the initial phase of decay, colonizing predominantly dead branches of deciduous trees (Fagus and Betula) and is associated with a white rot.

[9] A few years into the succession of wood decomposition, strong competitors such as Trametes versicolor and the split-gill fungus Schizophyllum commune often displace P.
