Description
Auriporia are characterized by crust-like fruit bodies with a yellowish pore surface that grow on dead wood. They have a monomitic hyphal system with generative hyphae that are clamped, and thin to thick-walled. The cystidia are smooth with short side branches or protuberances, and are typically incrusted at the apex. The spores produced are hyaline (translucent), oblong, and ellipsoid in shape. Auriporia fungi cause a brown wood rot.
