'''''Fomes''''' is a [[genus]] of perennial woody [[fungi]] in the family [[Polyporaceae]]. Species are typically hoof-shaped (ungulate). New growth each season is added to the margin, resulting in a downward extension of the [[hymenium]].<ref name="Orr 1980"/> This often results in a [[zonate]] appearance of the upper surface, that is, marked by concentric bands of color.

The name comes from [[Latin]] ''fomes'', meaning "[[tinder]]",<ref name="Donk 1960"/> from the use of ''[[Fomes fomentarius]]'', also known as the tinder fungus, in making tinder (see [[amadou]]).{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}

==Taxonomy==
''Fomes'' was first introduced by [[Elias Magnus Fries]] as a [[subgenus]] of ''[[Polyporus]]'' in his 1836 work ''Genera Hymenomycetum''. He promoted it to generic status in 1849.<ref name="Fries 1849"/>

==Description==
''Fomes'' species have [[perennial]], hoof-shaped [[basidiocarp|fruit bodies]] that attach directly to their [[substrate (biology)|substrate]] without a [[stipe (mycology)|stipe]]. The cap surface has a hard smooth crust that ranges in colour from gray to blackish. On the underside of the cap, the pore surface is pale brown with small pores, and brown tube layers. The tough and fibrous [[trama (mycology)|context]] is pale brown. The fruit body becomes stratified after multiple years of growth. ''Fomes'' has a trimitic [[hypha]]l system, containing generative, skeletal, and binding hyphae. The generative hyphae have [[clamp connection]]s, while binding and skeletal hyphae have pale brownish [[biological pigment|pigment]] that appears when they are [[Microscope slide#Mounting|mounted]] in a solution of [[potassium hydroxide]]. The cystidioles are fusoid, imbedded, or project somewhat. The [[basidia]] (spore-bearing cells) are club-shaped with a basal clamp, and have four [[sterigmata]]. The [[basidiospore|spores]] are cylindric, large, [[hyaline]] and smooth, and are non-reactive to [[Melzer's reagent]].<ref name="Ryvarden 2014"/>
