Bankera Coker & Beers ex Pouzar 1955
fungi genus in the thelephoraceae family
Bankera is a genus of four species of tooth fungi in the family Bankeraceae. The genus was first circumscribed in 1951 by William Chambers Coker and Alma Holland Beers, but this publication was invalid according to the rules of botanical nomenclature. It was later published validly by Zdeněk Pouzar in 1955. The type species is B. fuligineoalba. The genus is ectomycorrhizal with gymnosperms, usually with trees from the pine family. Fruitbodies of Bankera species are fleshy, usually with a centrally-placed stipe, and greyish-brown spines on the hymenial undersurface. The texture of the flesh
Sarcodon excentricus Coker & Beers ex R.E. Baird 1985
fungi species in the bankeraceae family
Sarcodon excentricus is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae. The fungus was originally described in 1951 by William Chambers Coker and Alma Holland Beers. The type collection was made by Lexemuel Ray Hesler in Cades Cove, Tennessee in 1937. Coker and Beers did not include a description of the fungus written in Latin—a requirement of the nomenclatural code at the time—and so their new species was not validly published. Richard Baird published S. excentricus validly in 1985.
