Ceriporia purpurea is a species of crust fungus in the family Irpicaceae. It was first described by Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in 1821 as Polyporus purpureus.^[1] Marinus Anton Donk gave the fungus its current name when he transferred it to the genus Ceriporia in 1971.^[2]

A 2016 study identified six similar Ceriporia species, referred to as the Ceriporia purpurea group: , the European species and , and the North American species and . Ceriporia purpurea is widely distributed in the temperate zone of Eurasia, where it grows exclusively on the decomposing wood of deciduous trees, and also in the American North-East.^[3]
