Rusty porecrust is a type of fungus that can be found growing on dead or dying trees, particularly hardwoods. It forms a crust-like structure which has a rusty color, hence its name. This fungus plays a role in breaking down the wood of the tree, contributing to the forest's nutrient cycle. Rusty porecrust retains its texture throughout the year, remaining woody and tough.
