Cinnamon porecrust
Fuscoporia ferrea
A species of Fuscoporia.
The fungus known as cinnamon porecrust typically thrives on the deteriorating timber of hazel and various other broadleaf trees. This organism develops small, cushion-shaped caps that expand and merge, creating a porous, crust-like structure. Its characteristic growth pattern and cinnamon-yellow hue are the basis for its common name, 'cinnamon porecrust.'
