Amauroderma ovisporum is a polypore fungus in the family Ganodermataceae. It was described as a new species in 2015 by mycologists Allyne Christina Gomes-Silva, Leif Ryvarden, and Tatiana Gibertoni. The specific epithet ovisporum (from the Latin words ovi = "egg" and spora = "spore") refers to the ovoid shape of the basidiospores. A. ovisporum is found in the states of Pará and Rondônia in the Brazilian Amazon.[1]
