Phlebia incarnata is a species of polypore fungus in the family Meruliaceae. It is inedible.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]The species was originally described as Merulius incarnatus by Lewis David de Schweinitz in 1822.[3] In its taxonomic history, it has been transferred to the genera Cantharellus (1832),[4] Sesia (1891),[5] and Byssomerulius (1974),[6] and renamed as a form of Merulius tremellosus. It was transferred to Phlebia in 1984 when Nakasone and Burdsall synonymized Merulius with Phlebia.[7]
Description
[edit]The coral pink cap is roughly semi-circular and 2–6 centimetres (3⁄4–2+1⁄4 in) wide and fuzzy when dry. The spore print is white.[8]
Phlebia tremellosa can appear similar.[8]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]It can be found in eastern North America from June to January on hardwood stumps and logs.[8]
