Taxonomy
The genus was circumscribed by Finnish mycologist Petter Karsten in 1881 with Climacodon septentrionalis as the type species.[1] This fungus was originally described by Elias Magnus Fries in 1821 as Hydnum septentrionale.[2]
Climacodon has been placed variously in the family Meruliaceae,[3] or in the Phanerochaetaceae.[4] Molecular analysis places Climacodon as a member of the Phlebioid clade.[5]
