Grammothelopsis is a fungal genus in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed in 1982 by Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich, with Grammothelopsis macrospora as the type species.[1]

Species of Grammothelopsis have fruit bodies that are effused-reflexed, meaning they are crust-like with a margin that is extended and bent backwards. The pores are shallow and irregular. The spores are large, thick-walled, and display a variable dextrinoid reaction to Melzer's reagent.[2]

Species

[edit]

As of June 2017, Index Fungorum accepts seven species of Grammothelopsis:[3]

Grammothelopsis fungi occur mainly in tropical Africa and America, with two species reported from China.[2]
