'''''Gloeoporus''''' is a [[Biology:Genus|genus]] of crust fungi in the family [[Biology:Irpicaceae|Irpicaceae]]. The genus has a widespread distribution.<ref name="Kirk 2008"/>

==Taxonomy==
''Gloeoporus'' was created by French mycologist [[Biography:Camille Montagne|Camille Montagne]] in 1842 to contain the subtropical species ''Gloeoporus conchoides''.<ref name="Montagne 1842"/> The fungus is now known as ''Gloeoporus thelephoroides''. The genus name combines the [[Social:Ancient Greek|Ancient Greek]] words {{lang|grc|γλοιός}} ("sticky") and {{lang|grc|πόρος}} ("pore").<ref name="Donk 1960"/>

Although traditionally classified in the family [[Biology:Meruliaceae|Meruliaceae]],<ref name="Kirk 2008"/> molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of ''Gloeoporus '' in the [[Biology:Irpicaceae|Irpicaceae]].<ref name="Miettinen et al. 2016"/><ref name="Justo et al. 2017"/> A recent (2018) revision of the [[Biology:Taxonomy|taxonomic]] status and generic limits of ''Gloeoporus'' using molecular phylogenetics revealed a polyphyletic genus, and the subsequent transfer of some species to ''[[Biology:Meruliopsis|Meruliopsis]]''.<ref name="Jung et al. 2018"/>

==Description==
''Gloeoporus'' fungi have pore surfaces featuring a pinkish white, cream, or orange to deep reddish colour. The pores are small. The texture of the [[Biology:Basidiocarp|fruit bodies]]  surface is gelatinous when fresh, but becomes resinous and cartilaginous when dry.<ref name="Jung et al. 2018"/>

==Species==

Some cystidium-forming species formerly placed in ''Gloeoporus'' were transferred to ''Meruliopsis'' in 2018 based on molecular phylogenetic analysis, including ''Gloeoporus guerreroanus'' and ''Gloeoporus cystidiatus''. They join ''Meruliopsis taxicola'', which was also once referred to ''Gloeoporus'' because of its [[Biology:Morphology|morphological]] similarities with ''Gloeoporus dichrous''.<ref name="Jung et al. 2018"/>
