Description
Leucophellinus is a rare wood-decay fungus group known for causing white rot in living trees. It forms large, perennial fruiting bodies that are white to pale cream in color. These fungi are notable for their ability to break down both lignin and cellulose in wood, playing a crucial role in forest ecosystems. They typically inhabit hardwood trees, particularly in old-growth forests.
