Phaeotrametes decipiens
Phaeotrametes decipiens is sometimes called Trametes dealbata. Like all polypores it's a bit like a little boletes, in that they also have pores that are mouths of short, vertical tubes. Once again the inner walls of the tubes are lined with basidia. The fruiting bodies have varied shapes.
Specific features of Phaeotrametes decipiens are the often hairy umber 'cap' with hairs in concentric bands, absence of a cortex, umber context and hymenial surface, large pores, and large elliptical or obovate spores with tinted walls. Although originally described as a Hexagona, the species is an Osmoporus with features of the latter genus. It grows on the bark of standing trees, usually casuarina, or fallen dead branches.
