Extract from Wikipedia article: Trichaptum abietinum is a species of poroid fungus in the order Hymenochaetales. It is saprophytic, growing from dead conifer wood.
Trichaptum abietinum is a species of fungus that grows on coniferous trees, particularly spruce and fir. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it has been found to be relatively common, often fruiting in late summer to early fall. The fungus forms small to medium-sized brackets that are semicircular or kidney-shaped, with a smooth, velvety surface that ranges in color from white to light brown. It is typically found on dead or dying trees, and can also occur on stumps and logs.
