Description

Schizopora are a group of fungi known for their intricate, maze-like pores. These fungi often grow on dead or decaying wood, playing a vital role in breaking down complex wood components. Their fruiting bodies are typically flat and crust-like, appearing almost like a thin, whitish to yellowish layer on wood surfaces. Some species within this group can cause a white rot, decomposing both lignin and cellulose in the wood.
