Extract from Wikipedia article: Bjerkandera adusta, commonly known as the smoky polypore or smoky bracket, is a species of fungus in the family Meruliaceae. It is a plant pathogen that causes white rot in live trees, but most commonly appears on dead wood. It was first described scientifically as Boletus adustus by Carl Ludwig Willdenow in 1787. The genome sequence of Bjerkandera adusta was reported in 2013.
Bjerkandera adusta is a species of bracket fungus that grows on decaying wood. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it has been found to fruit from June to November, typically on coniferous trees such as spruce, pine, and fir. The fungus is relatively common in the region, with records of its presence in urban parks, forests, and along rivers. It forms semicircular or kidney-shaped caps that are 2-8 cm in diameter, with a smooth, velvety surface that ranges in color from gray-brown to dark brown. The underside of the cap features small, white to yellowish pores. Bjerkandera adusta is a saprotrophic fungus, playing a role in decomposing organic matter and recycling nutrients in the ecosystem.
