| Polyporus is a genus of wood-decaying fungi known for its porous, shelf-like fruiting bodies growing on dead or decaying trees. These fungi play an important ecological role in decomposing wood, recycling nutrients in forest ecosystems. Polyporus species vary in size, shape, and color, often featuring stout stems and circular caps. They are mostly saprotrophic, though some have medicinal or traditional uses. |
