Cryptoporus volvatus, commonly known as the veiled polypore or cryptic globe fungus,[1] is a polypore fungus that decomposes the rotting sapwood of conifers. It is an after effect of attack by the pine bark beetle.[2] The fungus was originally described by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck in 1875 as Polyporus volvatus.[3] Cornelius Lott Shear transferred it to the genus Cryptoporus in 1902.[4] The species is inedible.[5]

The fruiting body is 2–6 across, and cream or tan in color.[6] A hole is either torn by insects or a tear appears on the underside.[6] The spores are pinkish.[6]
