Poroid Hymenochaetaceae associated with wood rots of trees in three timber-harvesting compartments of the Garden Route National Park (GRNP), South Africa, were investigated using multilocus phylogenetic analyses and morphology of the basidiomes. Results revealed the presence of 10 species belonging to five genera. Six of the species are known, but four are described as new. The known species include , and . The new species are described as , and .

The family Hymenochaetaceae includes a diversity of 893 species described around the world. Its representatives are known by their usually rusty colored basidiomes with a poroid hymenial surface, hydnoid or smooth, woody consistency, and wide morphological variation regarding the arrangement on the substrate. They behave as saprophytic, parasitic, ectomycorrhizal and play a fundamental role in the decomposition of wood in forest ecosystems.

is a cosmopolitan, poroid, wood-decaying genus, belonging to the Hymenochaetales. During a study of wood-inhabiting fungi in the USA, four unknown specimens were collected from Hawaii. Both morphological criteria and molecular genetic analyses based on the ITS+nLSU+EF1-α datasets and the nLSU dataset confirmed that these four specimens represent two new species of , and they are described as and is characterized by pileate basidiocarps, the absence of cystidioles, hooked hymenial setae, broadly ellipsoid to subglobose basidiospores measuring 4-6 × 3.

Five new wood-inhabiting fungi, , , , , and , are proposed based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. is characterized by brittle basidiomata, pruinose hymenophore with a white hymenial surface, a monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, and ellipsoid basidiospores. is characterized by a grandinioid hymenial surface, the presence of capitate cystidia, and ellipsoid basidiospores.

is a sterile conk which produces macrofungus, a neglected Central-Eastern European relative of the prized , also known as chaga. Investigation of the methanol extract of the poroid fungus resulted in the isolation of citropremide (), 3,4-dihydroxybenzalacetone () , lanosterol (), ergost-6,8,22-trien-3β-ol (), and ergosterol peroxide (). The structures of fungal compounds were determined on the basis of one- and two-dimensional NMR and MS spectroscopic analysis.
