Lumpy Bracket

Trametes gibbosa

Lumpy Bracket is a saprophytic polypore commonly associated with a variety of hardwood trees, especially Beech. This remarkable fungus forms distinctive brackets on standing timber and atop stumps, contributing to the process of white rot. The upper surface of Lumpy Bracket frequently displays green algae, and its unique slot-like pores facilitate easy identification of this species.
