Coniophora is a genus of fungi within the Coniophoraceae family. There are 20 species[1] in the genus, which has a widespread distribution. One notable member is the cellar fungus (C. puteana), which causes a rot in wood.[2] Molecular analysis has revealed that there are cryptic species in the fungal lineages Coniophora olivacea, C. arida, and C. puteana.[3]
