Porodaedalea pini, commonly known as the pine conk, [1] is a species of fungus in the family Hymenochaetaceae. It is a plant pathogen that causes tree disease commonly known as "red ring rot" or "white speck".
Ganoderma oregonense (also known as the west-coast reishi, western varnished conk, lacquer fungus, and/or American ling-chi) is a species of bracket fungus that causes root and butt white rot in conifers in northwestern coastal North America.
Fomitopsis pinicola, is a stem decay fungus common on softwood and hardwood trees. [1] Its conk (fruit body) is known as the red-belted conk. The species is common throughout temperate Europe and Asia. [1] It is a decay fungus that serves as a small-scale disturbance agent in coastal rainforest ecosystems.
Polypores are also called bracket fungi or shelf fungi, and they characteristically produce woody, shelf- or bracket-shaped or occasionally circular fruiting bodies that are called conks. [1] Over one thousand polypore species have been described to science, [ 2 ] but a large part of the diversity is still unknown even in relatively well ...
Laricifomes officinalis, also known as agarikon, eburiko, or the quinine conk, is a wood-decay fungus that causes brown heart rot on conifers native to Eurasia, North America, and Morocco. This fungus is the only member of the genus Laricifomes. The fruiting bodies grow in large conks on the trunks of trees.
P. schweinitzii is a polypore, although unlike bracket fungi the fruiting body may appear terrestrial [citation needed] when growing from the roots or base of the host tree. [1] The fruiting bodies, appearing in late summer or fall, commonly incorporate blades of grass, twigs, or fallen pine needles as they grow. [2]
Ganoderma is a genus of polypore fungi in the family Ganodermataceae that includes about 80 species, many from tropical regions. [1] They have a high genetic diversity and are used in traditional Asian medicines. Ganoderma can be differentiated from other polypores because they have a double-walled basidiospore.
Fomitopsis schrenkii is a perennial, woody conk with a fan-like shape. [1] The surface is smooth and can be resinous, and usually ends with a bumpy margin. [1] The colour usually follows a set pattern- at base a whiteish orange, then darkening to a true orange or brown, then lightening to a creamy-white at the margins. [1]
