Trametes betulina

Field Notes
Description:
Although it is a member of the Polyporales order, its fruiting bodies have gills instead of pores, which distinguishes it from the superficially similar Trametes versicolor or Trametes hirsutum. Research has shown that it has several medicinal properties, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, antitumor, and immunosuppressive activities.
Habitat:
Spotted on a dying deciduous tree in Central Arkansas.
