Thelephora belongs in the fungi kingdom within the Basidiomycota division, which is one of two divisions composed of hyphae.
Fungi Kingdom: Basidiomycota Division: Basidiomycota (/bsdiomakot/) is one of two large divisions that, together with the Ascomycota, constitute the subkingdom Dikarya (often referred to as the "higher fungi") within the kingdom Fungi. Basidiomycota are filamentous fungi composed of hyphae (except for basidiomycota-yeast) and reproduce sexually via the formation of specialized club-shaped end cells called basidia that normally bear external meiospores (usually four).
