Stereum sanguinolentum

Bleeding conifer crust

The fruiting bodies are resupinate, of irregular shape, or semi-resupinate with thin tiered caps, tawny or cinnamon brown, with spiked hairy margin and inconspicuous zoning. The hymenium is smooth, hued ochraceous to light brown and aging to greyish blue, turning crimson when injured. The mycelium causes light red-brown fibrous decay of infected wood in living or dead trees, branches and trunk butts.
