 The clade contains many of the genera traditionally associated with the families Polyporaceae and Ganodermataceae.Within the core polyporoid clade, it is part of the polyporus clade, which includes the polyphyletic genus "Polyporus", as well as the genera "Cryptoporus", "Daedaleopsis", "Earliella", "Megasporoporia", and "Microporus".In 2014, "Datronia scutellata" was transferred to the new genus "Datroniella" when molecular analysis showed that it was not closely related to "D. mollis" and "D. stereoides".
