Diagnosis: Basidiome resupinate to pileate, annual, pore surface yellow to white. Hyphal system mono- to dimitic, generative hyphae with scattered clamps, skeletal hyphae, when present, few, mostly confined to the context. Cystidia ventricose, thick-walled, apically encrusted. Basidia clavate, with 4-sterigmate, with a basal clamp. Basidiospores cylindrical to ellipsoid, smooth, thin-walled, negative in Melzer's reagent. On both hardwoods and conifers, causing a brown rot.

Type Species: Auriporia aurea (Peck) Ryvarden 1973

Notes: Auriporia is morphologically related to Antrodia by the type of rot and hyphal system but differs by the prominent cystidia (Ryvarden 1973).
