Li et al. (2014) suggested the creation of the genus Neodatronia to include two species, Neodatronia gaoligongensis (the type species) and N. sinensis, based on phylogenies of ITS, LSU, and RPB2 analyses and morphological studies. Neodatronia is characterized by resupinate basidiocarps, annual, pore surface white, cream to pale brown; moderate to small, round to angular pores; subiculum yellowish brown to cinnamon, corky; generative hyphae with clamp connections, skeletal hyphae usually dominating, pale brown to brown; dendrohyphidia present in the hymenium and dissepiment edges, cystidia absent; hyaline basidiospores, cylindrical, smooth, thin-walled, IKI–, CB– (Li et al. 2014). Neodatronia usually grows on angiosperm wood and causes white rot (Li et al. 2014). No further species have been introduced to this genus which remains two species in Neodatronia.
