Polyporaceae is one of the largest groups of fungi. It plays an extremely destructive role in forest wood. This destructive activity of wood-decay fungi was unknown until late in the nineteenth century when Robert Harting established through an important member of Polyporaceae i.e. Fomes sp., relation between hyphae, wood� decay and sporophphore (3,4). Since then Polyporaceae have been considered as the cause of enormous losses in timber.
