Candelabrochaete is a genus of crust fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae.

Taxonomy

The genus was circumscribed by French mycologist Jacques Boidin in 1970. He originally included two species, C. langloisii, and the type, C. africana.[1]

Description

Similar to the genus Phanerochaete, Candelabrochaete features simple septa in the subicular hyphae and at the base of the basidia, and hyaline, thin-walled, nonamyloid spores. Several features distinguish Candelabrochaete from Phanerochaete. These include small, cylindrical to club-shaped (clavate) basidia, septate cystidia, a loosely interwoven subiculum (a mat of hyphae from which the fruitbody arises), and a loosely organized hymenium. This latter characteristic gives a farinaceous to woolly appearance to the fruitbodies.[2]
