Climacocystis
Genus of fungi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Climacocystis is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Climacocystaceae.[1][2] Until recently, it was monotypic genus, containing the single widespread species Climacocystis borealis.[3] In 2014, Chinese mycologists added the newly described species Climacocystis montana.[4] The generic name combines the name Climacodon with the Ancient Greek word χύστιζ ("bladder").[5]
