Description

Theleporus is a group of wood-decaying fungi known for their unique pore-like structures on the fruiting body surface. These pores are shallow and irregular, giving the surface a maze-like appearance. Theleporus typically grows on dead hardwood trees, contributing to the decomposition process in forest ecosystems. Some species in this group have a distinctive white or cream-colored appearance.
