Donkioporia is a genus of fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae. The genus consists of two resupinate (crust-like) species: the type Donkioporia expansa,[1] and D. albidofusca (formerly Poria albidofusca), which was transferred to the genus in 2010.[2]
The genus name of Donkioporia is in honour of Marinus Anton Donk (1908–1972), who was a Dutch mycologist. He specialized in the taxonomy and nomenclature of mushrooms.[3]
The genus was circumscribed by František Kotlaba and Zdeněk Pouzar in Persoonia Vol.7 on page 214 in 1973.
