Extract from Wikipedia article: Phellinus tremulae is a species of polypore fungus in the family Hymenochaetaceae that grows on Populus tremula and on trembling aspen in Canada. The species was first described as Fomes igniarius f. tremulae by Appollinaris Semenovich Bondartsev in 1935. It causes the disease Aspen trunk rot.
Phellinus tremulae is a species of fungus that grows on trees, particularly birch. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it has been found to commonly infect paper birch (Betula papyrifera) and downy birch (Betula pubescens), causing decay of the wood. The fungus produces perennial, corky, and wrinkled brackets that are 2-10 cm wide, with a greyish-brown upper surface and a pale brown to yellowish pore surface. It is widespread in the region, often occurring in forests, parks, and along roadsides, and can be found throughout the growing season, typically from June to October.
