Cryptoporus volvatus, commonly known as the veiled polypore or cryptic globe fungus,^[1] is a polypore fungus that decomposes the rotting sapwood of conifers. It is an after effect of attack by the pine bark beetle.^[2] The fungus was originally described by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck in 1875 as Polyporus volvatus.^[3] Cornelius Lott Shear transferred it to the genus Cryptoporus in 1902.^[4] The species is inedible.^[5]

The fruiting body is 2–6 across, and cream or tan in color.^[6] A hole is either torn by insects or a tear appears on the underside.^[6] The spores are pinkish.^[6]
