'''''Buglossoporus''''' is a [genus](/source/genus) of [fungi](/source/fungi) in the family [Fomitopsidaceae](/source/Fomitopsidaceae). The genus was [circumscribed](/source/circumscription_(taxonomy)) in 1966 by Czech mycologists [František Kotlába](/source/Franti%C5%A1ek_Kotl%C3%A1ba) and [Zdeněk Pouzar](/source/Zden%C4%9Bk_Pouzar), with ''[Buglossoporus quercinus](/source/Buglossoporus_quercinus)'' as the [type species](/source/type_species).<ref name="Kotlába 1966"/> In some works, ''Buglossoporus'' has been treated as a [synonym](/source/synonym_(taxonomy)) of ''[Piptoporus](/source/Piptoporus)''.<ref name="Ryvarden 1991"/><ref name="Hattori 2000"/>

''[Buglossoporus magnus](/source/Buglossoporus_magnus)'', known from only three locations in [old growth](/source/old_growth_forest) lowland [rainforest](/source/rainforest) of [Peninsular Malaysia](/source/Peninsular_Malaysia), is considered a [vulnerable species](/source/vulnerable_species) by the [IUCN](/source/IUCN), and appears on their [Red List](/source/IUCN_Red_List).<ref name="IUCN"/>

==Description==
The [fruit bodies](/source/Basidiocarp) of ''Buglossoporus'' are [annual](/source/annual_plant). They have a [cap](/source/pileus_(mycology)), and a variable attachment to the [substrate](/source/substrate_(biology))—in some species the cap is attached directly, while others have a [stipe](/source/stipe_(mycology)). The cap surface ranges in colour from pink, cinnamon, orange to brown, with a texture that is either felt-like or smooth, without zone lines. The pore surface on the cap underside is white, cream, buff to brown. Pores are small, with a round to angular shape. The [context](/source/trama_(mycology)) is white, cream, buff, orange to brown, corky, and thicker than the tubes. It sometimes has a pellicle (a thin membrane) at the upper surface. The tubes are thin and fragile.<ref name="Han 2016"/>

''Buglossoporus'' has a [hypha](/source/hypha)l system that is dimitic in the context, but monomitic in the trama. Generative hyphae have [clamp connection](/source/clamp_connection)s, while the skeletal hyphae are thick-walled. There are no [cystidia](/source/cystidia) in the [hymenium](/source/hymenium), but thin-walled [cystidiole](/source/cystidiole)s are typically present. [Spores](/source/Basidiospore) produced by ''Buglossoporus'' range in shape from [ellipsoid](/source/ellipsoid), to cylindrical, to spindle-shaped. They are [hyaline](/source/hyaline), thin-walled, and smooth, showing no reaction to [Melzer's reagent](/source/Melzer's_reagent). The fungus grows on [angiosperm](/source/angiosperm) wood and causes a brown rot.<ref name="Han 2016"/>

[Molecular phylogenetic](/source/Molecular_phylogenetic) analysis shows ''Buglossoporus'' be closely related to ''[Neolentiporus](/source/Neolentiporus)''. This latter genus, however, has a dimitic hyphal system in trama with irregularly thick-walled generative hyphae, and skeletal hyphae that are [metachromatic](/source/metachromasia).<ref name="Han 2016"/>

In a later study of Corner's Asian and West Pacific collections, Tsutomu Hattori concluded that both ''B.&nbsp;brunneiflavus'' and ''Buglossoporus flavus'' were "dubious species" due to "poor or sterile conditions", and that ''Buglossoporus matangensis'' and ''B.&nbsp;rufescens'' are [synonyms](/source/synonym_(taxonomy)) of ''B.&nbsp;malesianus''.<ref name="Hattori 2000"/> This latter synonymy was supported in a 2016 study.<ref name="Han 2016"/>
