The Gyroporaceae are a family of fungi in the order Boletales. The family is monogeneric, containing the single genus Gyroporus, which, according to a 2008 estimate, contains ten widely distributed species, ^[2] though a more recent study suggested the species-level diversity to be far higher. ^[3] As of January 2026 ^[update] , according to Index Fungorum and Mycobank databases, the genus had 46 species. ^[4]
