Note: Equivalent to Vuilleminiales Boidin et al. 1998 and the corticioid clade (Binder et al. 2005; Larsson et al. 2004). Boidin et al. (1998) explicitly included Corticium in their new order, as a member of the family Vuilleminiaceae Maire 1902. Jülich (1981) also placed Corticium in Vuilleminiaceae but referred them to Aleurodiscales Jülich 1981. Corticium is the type of Corticiaceae Herter 1910, a family name conserved against Vuilleminiaceae. The introduction of Corticiales as a new name for this order was, therefore, the preferred option.
