Classification: Polyporales, Incertae sedis, Agaricomycetes, Agaricomycotina, Basidiomycota, Fungi

Notes: Julich (1981) described Hyphodermataceae with Hyphoderma as the generic type, also including the genera Athelidium, Atheloderma, Basidioradulum, Bulbillomyces, Conohypha, Granulobasidium, Hyphoderma, Hyphodermella, Hypochnicium, Intextomyces and Metulodontia. Currently, according to the phylogenetic study of Polyporales at the family-level carried out by Justo et al. (2017), only Hyphoderma is considered in this family which includes corticioid species with monomitic hyphal systems, hyphae with clamp-connections; cystidia present in most species; spores thin-walled, smooth, and hyaline. 

Type genus: Hyphoderma Wallr., Fl. crypt. Germ. (Norimbergae) 2: 576 (1833).
