Gloeophyllum sepiarium

Yellow-red gill polypore

Description

The fruiting bodies are annual or perennial, occurring on woodland stumps, but also on wooden benches and tables at countryside homes, wooden fence poles, beams of wooden bridges, etc. The caps, emerging from the wood surface most often through cracks and fissures, are laterally attached or semi-resupinate. They are 2–6 cm across and 3–10 cm long, velvety or with longer hairs, circular zones of vivid rusty or dark brown and a blunt rusty yellow margin. The pore surface is formed by tawny gills instead of tubes. The mycelium causes brown cuboid rot and the fungus is a major degrader of stored timber.

Symptom

The presence of rusty-brown fruiting bodies emerging on the surface of the wood, most often through cracks and fissures, are laterally added to the semi-spilled.
