The surface of the fruiting body is yellowish brown, pubescent, later smooth and black, with no zones. The edge is pale and sharp. The lower side of the bracket is tubular, pale brown to grey. The fungus causes intense white rot of heartwood of broadleaved trees; however, it lives predominantly as a saprophyte on already dead trees. It penetrates into the trunk through wounds.
