Aurantiporus is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. Circumscribed by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1905,^[1] the genus contains five species found mostly in northern temperate regions.^[2] Molecular analysis of several Aurantiporus species suggests that the genus is not monophyletic, but some other related polypore species need to be sequenced and studied before appropriate taxonomic changes can be made.^[3]
