Description
Phlebiella species are characterized by pleurobasidia and a lack of cystidia in the hymenium. The genus is otherwise quite variable morphologically; for example, spores range from allantoid (sausage-shaped) to spherical, the surface ornamentation ranges from warted to smooth, and reaction with Melzer's reagent can be amyloid or inamyloid.[1]
Taxonomy
Phlebiella was circumscribed by mycologist Petter Adolf Karsten in 1890.[2] It was pointed out later by Marinus Anton Donk that Karsten did not publish the genus validly, as he did not include a give a generic description.[3] Some authorities have placed Phlebiella in synonymy with Xenasmatella,[4] and the former type species, Phlebiella vaga, is placed in this latter genus as Xenasmatella vaga.[5]

The following species are recognised in the Phlebiella:[6]
