Abstract: To know the latest research progress of taxonomy and secondary metabolites of Fomitopsis, the authors summarized taxonomic changes about Fomitopsis according to literatures and authoritative websites, and pointed out 37 current species. Based on chemical structures, monomers of the secondary compounds from Fomitopsis were summed up, including the kinds of steroids, coumarin, fatty acids and others compounds. The biological activities of the metabolites and the extracts from different solvents were analyzed, such as antimicrobial, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and insecticidal activities. These compounds showed huge application potential in medical and agricultural domain. The taxonomic changes, secondary metabolites and their biological activities of fungi belonging to Fomitopsis were generalized, and the study could provide references to further investigation on Fomitopsis.
