Anthoporia

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