Thelephora is a genus of fungi within the Thelephoraceae family. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains about 50 species.[1] Fruit bodies of species are leathery, usually brownish at maturity, and range in shape from coral-like tufts to having distinct caps. Almost all species in the genus are thought to be inedible,[2] but Thelephora ganbajun Zang[3] is a gourmet fungus in Yunnan province of southwest China.[4]
The generic name is derived from the Greek thele (θηλή) meaning nipple and phorus meaning bearing.[5] Species in the genus are commonly known as "fiber fans" and "fiber vases".[2]
