The Black-Staining Polypore has large, fan-shaped caps, often tan to reddish-brown, that merge into a massive, multi-lobed cluster at the base of trees. Its creamy white underside, made of tiny pores, quickly turns dark gray to black when bruised or cut. This distinct staining makes it easy to identify.
