Gloeoporus is a genus of crust fungi in the family Irpicaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution.

==Taxonomy== Gloeoporus was created by French mycologist Camille Montagne in 1842 to contain the subtropical species Gloeoporus conchoides. The fungus is now known as Gloeoporus thelephoroides. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek words ("sticky") and ("pore").
