The Polyporaceae are a clade of polypores that produce a white rot (Justo et al. 2017).
Characters (Justo et al. 2017): Polypores, rarely corticioid; hyphal system mostly dimitic or trimitic, occasionally monomitic and those usually with dendroid hyphal elements in hymenium; hyphae with clamp-connections, exceptionally simple-septate; spores thin- to thick-walled, smooth to ornamented, relatively big for Polyporales, hyaline to brown; cystidia mostly absent. Producing a white-rot.
