The Hymenochaetales is an order of basidiomycete fungi. This group contains a number of corticioid fungi, polypores, such as Inotus and Phellinus, as well as several agaric species, such as Rickenella and Loreleia.

The Hymenochaetales were discovered through molecular phylogeny, and have few uniting morphological characters. All members of this group have hyphae in which the septa are of the dolipore type and have imperforate parenthesomes.
