Fomitopsis schrenkii
Foraging: Never eat a wild mushroom on a photo or an app’s word. Many deadly species look like edible ones.
About
Fomitopsis schrenkii is a newly isolated species from the genus Fomitopsis. Previously thought to be identical to the red-belted conk, DNA analysis shows it is in fact a distinct species. This species is named after Herman von Schrenk, a respected name in forest pathology. It occurs most frequently in the Southwestern United States, and has a somewhat limited range. It prefers coniferous trees and rarely associates on hardwoods. This substrate preference and location range is most helpful in distinguishing F. schrenkii from its close relative, F. mounceae.
