Classification: Gloeophyllaceae, Gloeophyllales, Incertae sedis, Agaricomycetes, Agaricomycotina, Basidiomycota, Fungi.

            Based on phylogenetic analyses of ITS and LSU and morphological studies, He et al. (2014) established Hispidaedalea to accommodate the type species Hispidaedalea imponens (Gloeophyllum imponens). Hispidaedalea is characterized by a strigose upper surface of basidiocarps, distinct daedaleoid to lamellate hymenophore, clavate basidia with four sterigmata, cylindrical basidiospores, and hyaline (He et al. 2014). Hispidaedalea species are present in the subtropics and tropics of fallen angiosperm trunks, causing brown rot (Corner 1987Dai 2012He et al. 2014). No other species have been introduced to this genus, which remains monotypic.

Type species: Hispidaedalea imponens (Ces.) Y.C. Dai & S.H. He

Other accepted species: This genus is monotypic.
