Coriolopsis is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1905.[2] The genus is cosmopolitan, with most species in tropical areas.[3] The generic name combines the name Coriolus with the Ancient Greek word ὄψις ("appearance").[4]
