On the other hand, there are allied genera having macro- and microscopic characters similar to those of Polyporus. The phylogenetic relationships of Polyporus and allied genera were established from sequences of RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2), nuclear ribosomal large subunit (nucLSU), and mitochondrial ATPase subunit 6 (ATP6). The molecular phylogenetic trees confirmed that Polyporus is a polyphyletic genus and recognized six major clades (Clades 1-6) containing species of Polyporus and several allied genera. Among the detected six clades, Clade 1 contained three infrageneric groups of Polyporus and two allied genera, Datronia and Pseudofavolus, while Clade 6 contained Group Polyporellus and Lentinus. On the other hand, five of the six major clades contained species belonging to a single infrageneric group, Favolus, Melanopus, Polyporellus or Polyporus. These results suggest that the morphological characters used to define these groups have phylogenetic significance and revealed the need for a taxonomic revision of Polyporus and its allied genera.} }
