Cerioporus
Cerioporus is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The type species is Cerioporus squamosus. Many species in Cerioporus were formerly placed in the genus Polyporus, however phylogenetic analysis shows that Cerioporus is a separate genus.[1] It has been reported that mushrooms have significant antioxidant and antimicrobial activity.

Structure of basidiocarp
The basidiocarps are tough, especially when mature. The form is polyporoid to trametoid. The spores are fusoid.[1]
Hyphae
The hyphae are dimitic, composed of binding or skeletal hyphae. The skeletal hyphae are inflated and axial.[1]
