Anthoporia is a fungal genus in the family Meripilaceae. It is a monotypic genus, circumscribed in 2016 to contain the single species Anthoporia albobrunnea.^[2]

Taxonomy

The fungus was first described scientifically by Swedish mycologist Lars Romell in 1911, who called it Polyporus albobrunneus.^[3] Over the following several decades, it was shuffled to several general by different authors:^[1] Leptoporus (Pilát, 1938),^[4] Poria (D.V.Baxter),^[5] Tyromyces (Bondartsev, 1953),^[6] Antrodia (Ryvarden, 1973),^[7] Coriolellus (Domanski, 1974),^[8] and Piloporia (Ginns, 1984).^[9]

Habitat and distribution

In 2004, Anthoporia albobrunnea was one of 33 species proposed for protection under the Bern Convention by the European Council for Conservation of Fungi.^[10]
