Hairy panus
Panus neostrigosus
A species of Panus.
A notable characteristic of the hairy panus is its exceptionally dense, hairy cap. This dense pilosity gives the mushroom a somewhat velvety and plush appearance. Despite its appealing aesthetic and the variety of colors it can display, the Panus neostrigosus is not suitable for consumption.
