Echinoporia

Echinoporia is a genus of polypore, wood inhabiting fungi comprising three accepted species in the family Schizoporaceae. Hairs on the pileus possessing asexual thick-walled spores, chlamydospores, is a defining trait of the genus. In 1980, Ryvarden established the genus for the type species, Echinoporia hydnophora (Berk. & Broome) Ryvarden (1980). In 1984, Ryvarden added another species. In 2008, Coelho described the third species of the genus.
