Postia is a genus of brown rot fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae.

Taxonomy

Postia was circumscribed by mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in his 1874 work Hymenomycetes europaei. ^[2] The genus name honours Swedish naturalist Hampus von Post (1822–1911). ^[3]

Species

A 2008 estimate placed 30 species in the genus. ^[4] As of June 2018 ^[update] , Index Fungorum accepts 57 species of Postia: ^[5]
