Smoky bracket

Description:

Covering a length of about 400mm these soft brackets develop conjoined and folded as one. The fertile surface inside each segment is pale coffee brown with pores that appear smoky grey.

Habitat:

Growing on the side of a Pomaderris sp. within a moist shady reserve containing a mixture of exotic and native plant species.

Notes:

Found in northern hemisphere on hardwoods like birch, elm. This one causes white heart rot. Not officially known in this country but this is the third time we have seen it and always associated with introduced species.... so it IS here.
