Polypore

Polyporales

Polypores are special mushrooms that grow on trees. They have pores instead of gills underneath their caps. Some polypores are used in traditional medicine or to start fires.

Hábitat: Forests

Aspecto

The Polypore has a shelf-like or bracket-like fruiting body, often growing flat against wood. Its distinguishing feature is a pore-filled underside instead of gills, ranging in color from white to browns, oranges, or yellows. These fungi often have a tough, leathery, or woody texture.
