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

The fruiting body is 2–6 across, and cream or tan in color.^[5] A hole is either torn by insects or a tear appears on the underside.^[5] The spores are pinkish.^[5]
