Aphyllophorales are
basidiomycetes that lack soft
gills (lamellae), but are also
hymenomycete as are
boletes[?] and
agarics[?]. This assemblage of
fungi is
polyphyletic[?]. Aphyllophorales have a smooth
hymenophore, or have pores such as the boletes, or teeth, or irregular gills. Major groups are the polypores (
Hymenochaetales[?],
Polyporales[?],
Ganodermatales[?]), and various
coral fungi[?].
