Fibroporia is a genus of ten species of poroid crust fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae. The genus contains species similar to those in genus Antrodia, but they are phylogenetically distinct.
==Taxonomy== The genus was circumscribed in 1968 by Estonian mycologist Erast Parmasto with Fibroporia vaillantii (formerly Polyporus vaillantii DC.) as the type species. He defined the genus as containing species with fimbriate (hairlike) to rhizomorphic margins, and ellipsoid to slightly thick-walled spores. In 1991, Leif Ryvarden did not consider the rhizomorphs to be a characteristic worthy of creating a separate genus, and proposed Fibroporia to be synonymous with Antrodia. Several molecular studies support the separation of Fibroporia as a distinct genus from Antrodia.
