Leifiporia

L. eucalypti L. rhizomorpha Leifiporia is a genus of two species of poroid white rot crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae.

The genus was circumscribed by Chinese mycologists in 2016 to accommodate the type species Leifiporia rhizomorpha.

[1] Leifiporia was circumscribed in 2016 by Chinese mycologists Changlin Zhao, Fang Wu, and Yu-Cheng Dai.

Molecular analysis shows that Leifiporia belongs to the "core polyporoid clade",[1] a grouping of fungi roughly equivalent to the family Polyporaceae.

[4] Leifiporia species are characterized by crust-like fruit bodies with an annual growth habit.
