The Fungi World (125) : Red Banded Polypore

What happens when a coniferous tree falls in the forest and no one is there to remove it ?
Well, this fungus gets ready for dinner !

Most fungi live only 3 to 4 days, but there are exceptions, like the Red Banded Polypore.
It’s a horseshoe shaped fungus with a woody and tough texture that can be found all year long.

The fruiting body of this species develops a new white tube layer every year under the shiny red-brown area of last year. The dark gray part on top can be several years old.

Dutch name : Roodgerande houtzwam
German name : Fichtenporling (auch Rotrandiger Baumschwamm genannt)
Latin name : Fomitopsis pinicola
