Taxonomy
The genus was circumscribed in 2010 by mycologists James Ginns, Daniel Lindner, and Timothy Baroni. The type species, Aurantiopileus mayaensis, was discovered in the Maya Mountains of Belize. Two Asian species previously classified in Gloeoporus were also placed in the genus.[1]
Description
The fruit bodies of Aurantiopileus fungi are fairly small, and have a fleshy or gelatinous texture when they are fresh. The hyphal system is monomitic, and the hyphae have clamp connections. Spores are small (measuring 4–6 by 2.8–4.6 μm), and inamyloid.[1]

gollark: ARing?
gollark: Er, few hours, maybe?
gollark: "Frostinate"? "Freeze (Egg)"?
gollark: Should I add something to my trade in order to try and get a xenowyrm then? If so, what?
gollark: I will never understand how putting up a CB truffle asking for a CB xenowyrms got me offers but the same thing with a much rarer golden wyvern isn't.
