This maze polypore grows from a variety of hardwoods, usually large, fallen branches. Summer and fall; old, dried examples can be found year round. The pore surface, when fresh and white, bruises pinkish. (A similar maze polypore, Daedalea quercina, does not bruise.) |
Daedaleopsis confragosa |
Older collections of Daedaleopsis confragosa can exhibit a gill-like pore surface and brown to reddish-brown coloration. Examination and comparison of a cross section of the cap will help separate from Lenzites and Gloeophyllum species. |
