Ceriporia is a widely distributed genus of crust fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae.
The genus was circumscribed by Dutch mycologist Marinus Anton Donk in 1930, with Ceriporia viridans as the type species.
Molecular phylogenetic analyses have shown that Ceriporia is not monophyletic, despite an earlier study which suggested the contrary. The presence or absence of cystidia is not considered a phylogenetic character in delimiting the species of Ceriporia.
A 2008 estimate placed 22 species in the genus. As of September 2016[update], Index Fungorum accepts 49 species of Ceriporia. Twenty species occur in China; eighteen species are found in the neotropics.
