Taxonomy

Flaviporus was circumscribed by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1905. He designated the type species as Flaviporus rufoflavus;[3] this taxon is now considered the same as Flaviporus brownii.[4] The generic name combines the Latin word flavus ("light yellow") with the Ancient Greek πόρος (pore).[5]

Description

Murrill described the characteristics of Flaviporus as follows: "Hymenium annual, often reviving, epixylous, sessile, dimidiate, imbricate; surface encrusted, glabrous: context thick, woody, brown; tubes thin-walled, minute, regular: spores smooth, hyaline."[3]
