Hydnophlebia omnivora is a species of crust fungus in the family Meruliaceae. It is found in the Southern United States where it causes white rot in various woody angiosperms.

Taxonomy

The fungus was first described scientifically in 1925 by American mycologist Cornelius Lott Shear as a species of Hydnum.[3] Kurt Hjortstam and Leif Ryvarden transferred it to the genus Hydnophlebia in 2009.[4] Harold Burdsall and Karen Nakasone proposed a transfer to Phanerochaete,[5] a classification endorsed by MycoBank.[6]
