The genus (Hymenochaetales, Hymenochaetaceae) was first described by Murrill in 1907. However, species of were subsequently reclassified into the genera , , and due to overlapping morphological characteristics, leading to multiple synonyms and confusion among researchers. Recent phylogenetic analyses based on multimarker datasets have clarified the diversity and relationships within , but East Asian species remain underrepresented due to limited morphological data.

Here, the sequences available in GenBank for Fuscoporia (Hymenochaetales) were validated. Many morphological characters of Fuscoporia overlap among the species, emphasizing the role of molecular identification for accuracy.
