Diplomitoporus is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008) estimated the widespread genus to contain 11 species;[4] since then, the genus has grown with the additional of several newly described species, and some transfers from other genera. Diplomitoporus has been described as a wastebasket taxon, containing "species that share common macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, but are not necessarily related."[5]
Diplomitoporus was circumscribed in 1970 by Polish mycologist Stanislaw Domanski, with Diplomitoporus flavescens as the type species.[1] This species was originally described as a member of Trametes by Giacomo Bresadola in 1903.[6]
