Δημόσια Περιγραφή του Daedaleopsis confragosa (Bolton) J. Schröt.
Ταξινομική Κατάταξη: Domain: Eukarya Γενική Περιγραφή: Daedaleopsis confragosa is commonly known as the Thin-maze Flat Polypore or the Blushing Bracket. This fungus is characterized by a white spore-bearing surface with elongated, maze-like pores. This organism has previously been referred to as Daedalia confragosa. Διαγνωστική Περιγραφή: The pores of D. confragosa are smaller than 1 mm with concentric zones on the top of the pileus. The similar polypore, Daedalia quercina, has pores that are larger than 1 mm without concentric zones on the top of the pileus. Trametes elegans is another polypore that looks similar to D. confragosa but has no concentric zones on the top of the pileus.. The spores of D. confragosa are larger than the spores of both D. quercina and T. elegans. Similar looking polypores do not bruise red or brown when handled or scratched, as D. confragosa does when fresh. D. quercina is larger and thicker than D. confragosa, with pores 1-2 mm wide. D. quercina causes a brown rot. T. elegans is completely white, with pores that are different shapes in the base and margin of the pileus. Διασπορά: D. confragosa grows commonly in eastern hardwood forests of North America. It can also be found in the Northwest and Southwest. It has not been found in western North America. The states that it has been found include: Washington, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire. It has been found in Canada in: British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. This polypore can also be found throughout Europe. Βιότοπος: D. confragosa is saprophytic, causing a white rot. It prefers hardwoods, especially willow (Salix), aspen (Populus), and birch (Betula). It is very unlikely to find D. confragosa growing on conifers. This polypore is found commonly, year-round. Παρόμοια: Daedalia quercina looks similar but is larger and thicker. As the name implies, D. quercina grows primarily on oak trees (Quercus), while D. confragosa tends not to grow on oak trees. Also, the spores of D. quercina are smaller than that of D. confragosa. Pore sizes are different between the two. Trametes elegans looks similar but is white. The spores of T. elegans are smaller than D. confragosa. The pore surfaces of D. confragosa and T. elegans appear different. T. elegans has a pore surface that changes from regular to maze-like throughout. Χρήσεις: This fungus has some medicinal purposes. Chemicals have been isolated from this polypore that have antifungal and antibacterial properties. Αναφορές: Bessette, A.E., A.R. Bessette, & D.W. Fischer.
