Picipes Zmitr. & Kovalenko 2016, in Cui, et al., Fungal Diversity 97, 137–392 (2019)

Diagnosis: Basidiocarps annual, stipitate. Pilei fan-shaped to circular or infundibuliform, covered with hard cuticle, glabrous; corky to coriaceous when fresh and hard when dry; stipe usually covered with a brownish to black cuticle from the base. Pores round to angular. Hyphal system dimitic; generative hyphae bearing clamp connections or simple septa; skeletal hyphae strongly branched in trama; hyphae in cuticle bearing clamp connections or not, thick-walled with a wide lumen, usually unbranched. Basidiospores oblong to cylindrical or fusiform, smooth, hyaline, less than 13 µm long and 5 µm wide. Melanopus Pat. was established by Patouillard (1887) to accommodate stipitate polypores with black stipe. Subsequently, however, the genus was reduced to a synonym of Polyporus P. Micheli ex Adans. (Donk 1960). Núñez and Ryvarden (1995) treated Melanopus as an infrageneric group of Polyporus. They defined this group with following characters: basidiocarps coriaceous, tough when dry, context thin, stipe with a black cuticle, skeletal hyphae mostly subsolid and narrow when mature, and basidiospores medium size to large (6–12 × 2–4 µm).

Type species: Picipes badius (Pers.) Zmitr. & Kovalenko 2016, in Cui, et al., Fungal Diversity 97, 137–392 (2019)

Notes: Phylogenetically, Polyporus badius (Pers.) Schwein., P. melanopus (Pers.) Fr. and P. tubaeformis (P. Karst.) Ryvarden & Gilb. grouped together in a well-supported clade (Krüger et al. 2006). Krüger et al. (2006) indicated that ‘‘Melanopus’’ appeared to be a non-monophyletic assemblage of dark-stipited polypores. Sotome et al. (2008) showed that P. badius, P. dictyopus Mont. and P. tubaeformis cluster together in a single clade with high supports while P. leprieurii Mont., P. varius (Pers.) Fr., P. squamosus (Huds.) Fr. and Datronia mollis (Sommerf.) Donk, D. scutellata (Schwein.) Doman´ski, Pseudofavolus cucullatus (Mont.) Pat. gathered into a related but distinct clade. Zmitrovich and Kovalenko (2016) erected Picipes Zmitr. et Kovalenko for the P. badius clade according to analyses of nLSU, ITS and EF1-a sequences. Recently, taxonomic and phylogenetic studies on the Melanopus group in China were carried out by Zhou et al. (2016), and species in this group distribute into two distinct clades: the Picipes clade and the Squamosus clade; Picipes was confirmed as a distinct genus separated from Polyporus.
