'''''Postia''''' is a genus of brown rot fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae.

==Taxonomy== ''Postia'' was circumscribed by mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in his 1874 work ''Hymenomycetes europaei''.<ref name="Fries 1874"/> The genus name honours Swedish naturalist Hampus von Post (1822–1911).<ref name="Donk 1960"/>

==Species== A 2008 estimate placed 30 species in the genus.<ref name="Kirk 2008"/> {{As of|2018|June}}, Index Fungorum accepts 57 species of ''Postia'':<ref name="CoL-Fungorum"/> [[File:2010-06-24 Oligoporus guttulatus 90882.jpg|thumb|right|''Postia guttulata'']] [[File:Ptychogaster fuliginoides weißer polsterpilz.jpg|thumb|right|''Postia ptychogaster'']] [[File:Postia subcaesia PN1 (1).jpg|thumb|right|''Postia subcaesia'']] {{columns-list|colwidth=30em| *''Postia africana'' <small>(Ryvarden) V.Papp (2015)</small> *''Postia amurensis'' <small>Y.C.Dai & Penttilä (2006)</small><ref name="Dai & Penttillä 2006"/> – China *''Postia amylocystis'' <small>Y.C.Dai & Renvall (1994)<ref name="Dai 1994"/></small> – China *''Postia amyloidea'' <small>(Corner) V.Papp (2015)</small> *''Postia balsamea'' <small>(Peck) Jülich (1982)</small> *''Postia brunnea'' <small>Rajchenb. & P.K.Buchanan (1996)</small><ref name="Rajchenberg 1996"/> – Australia; New Zealand *''Postia caesia'' <small>(Schrad.)
