From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coniophora is a genus of fungi within the order Boletales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are corticioid (patch-forming). There are 20 species[2] in the genus, which has a widespread distribution. 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.[4]
