'''''Coniophora''''' is a genus of fungi within the order Boletales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are corticioid (patch-forming). There are 20 species<ref>{{cite journal|last=Ginns|first=J.|title=A Monograph of the genus ''Coniophora'' (Aphyllophorales, Basidiomycetes)|journal=Opera Botanica|year=1982|volume=61|pages=1–61}}</ref> in the genus, which has a widespread distribution. One notable member is the cellar fungus (''C. puteana''), which causes wet rot in wood.<ref name=Kirk2008/> Molecular analysis has revealed that there are cryptic species in the fungal lineages ''Coniophora olivacea'', ''C. arida'', and ''C. puteana''.<ref name="Skrede 2012"/>
