Coniophora

Aldridgea Massee (1892)[1] Coniophorella P. Karst.

(1889) Coniophora is a genus of fungi within the order Boletales.

Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are corticioid (patch-forming).

One notable member is the cellar fungus (C. puteana), which causes wet rot in wood.

[3] Molecular analysis has revealed that there are cryptic species in the fungal lineages Coniophora olivacea, C. arida, and C. puteana.
