Extract from Wikipedia article: Trametopsis is a fungal genus containing the single species Trametopsis cervina. Recent molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of Leptoporus in the Irpicaceae.
Dutch: Trametopsis.
Trametopsis cervina is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Polyporaceae. It is a wood-decaying fungus that grows on dead hardwoods, particularly oak and elm trees. In East and Central Texas, Trametopsis cervina can be found on stumps, logs, and fallen branches, typically in shaded areas with rich soil. The fruiting body of the fungus is a semicircular to fan-shaped bracket with a wavy or lobed margin, measuring 2-8 cm in diameter, and has a reddish-brown to grayish-brown upper surface with a white to cream-colored pore surface underneath. It is a relatively rare fungus in the region, but can be spotted during the spring and fall months when moisture levels are higher.
