Taxonomy: Eukaryota | Opisthokonta | Fungi | Dikarya | Basidiomycota | Agaricomycotina | Agaricomycetes | Agaricomycetes incertae sedis | Polyporales | Phanerochaetaceae | Phanerochaete | Phanerochaete chrysosporium Anamorph: Sporotrichum pruinosum Common: white rot fungus (German: Weißfäulepilz) Comment: The wood-decaying basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium does not produce mushrooms for reproduction; instead, it forms effuse, very flat fruiting bodies that appear as a crust on wood. Phanerochaete chrysosporium is the most intensively studied white-rot fungus. White-rot fungi degrade lignin, the brown polymer that surrounds and protects the cellulose microfibrils of plant cells. As part of their lignin-degrading enzyme system, these fungi produce unique peroxidases and oxidases that are also capable of degrading compounds related to lignin that are present in toxic wastes, pesticides, and explosive contaminated materials.
