Fuscopostia fragilis (Fr.) B.K. Cui, L. L. Shen & Y.C. Dai 2018
(Oligoporus fragilis, Postia fragilis, Tyromyces fragilis)
This polypore in the Fomitopsidaceae family is related to the Blue Cheese Polypore, a fungus in the Postia caesia complex. When young, the cap surface is finely ‘hairy’ or fluffy; the texture of the entire fruiting body is soft and tends to develop yellowing and rusty red staining with handling and age. Postia fragilis grows in tiers from well-rotted conifer wood. It is in the Fomitopsidaceae family of the Polyporales.
