Polypores are a group of fungi that form fruiting bodies with pores or tubes on the underside (see Delimitation for exceptions).

Polypores are also called bracket fungi, and their woody fruiting bodies are called conks. * Most polypores inhabit tree trunks or branches consuming the wood, but some soil-inhabiting species form mycorrhiza with trees. Polypores and their relatives corticioid fungi are the most important agents of wood decay. Thus, they play a very significant role in nutrient cycling and carbon dioxide production of forest ecosystems. * Over one thousand polypore species have been described to science, but a large part of the diversity is still unknown even in relatively well-studied temperate areas.
