The Sparassidaceae are a family of fungi in the order Polyporales. The family was circumscribed by German botanist Wilhelm Herter in 1910 to contain the genus Sparassis.[1] Sparassiella was added to the family in 1964.[2] As of April 2018, Index Fungorum accepts 10 species in the Sparassidaceae.[3]
