Extract from Wikipedia article: Trametes gibbosa, commonly known as the lumpy bracket, is a polypore mushroom that causes a white rot. It is found on beech stumps and the dead wood of other hardwood species. Fruit bodies are 8–15 cm in diameter and semicircular in shape. The upper surface is usually gray or white, but may be greenish in older specimens due to algal growth. Elongated pores are located on the under-surface. The fruiting bodies are frequently attacked by boring beetle larvae.

In north-western Russia, it is widespread in temperate forests, typically fruiting from July to October. The fungus has a semicircular or fan-shaped cap, 3-10 cm wide, with a wavy margin and a grayish-brown to brown upper surface, while the lower surface is pale gray to white with 2-4 pores per mm.
