Auriporia is a small genus of four species of poroid fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae.
The genus was circumscribed by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden in 1973, with what was then known as Poria aurea as the type species.[1]
Although the genus is typically classified in the family Fomitopsidaceae,[2] a recent (2017) multi-gene phylogenetic analysis placed Auriporia outside of Antrodia clade, and could not assign the genus to any existing family in the Polyporales.[3]
