Trametes villosa
A species of Trametes.
Distinguished by its hairy, fuzzy, and grey appearance, the trametes villosa is notable for a surface densely covered in prominent pores. As it matures, these pores evolve into an angular, tooth-like shape. This fungus is commonly observed growing on the decaying wood of both hardwoods and conifers during the summer and autumn months.
