About

Coriolopsis gallica, the brownflesh bracket, is a fungus found growing on decaying wood. It is not associated with any plant disease, therefore it is not considered pathogenic. For various Coriolopsis gallica strains isolated, it has been found, as a common feature of the division Basidiomycota, that they are able to degrade wood components, mainly lignin and to lesser extent cellulose, which results in a degradation area covered by the accumulating white cellulose powder. Therefore, C. gallica might generically be called, as with many other basidiomycetes, a "white-rot" fungus.
