Description
The inedible punctate or upholstery sponge (Fomitiporia punctata, Syn. Phellinus punctatus) is a species of fungus in the family of bristle-bladder relatives. The fungus also forms on vertical stems flat to pincushion fruiting bodies, which have very small, gray to brown pores on their smooth surface. Setae are missing and the big spurs are almost spherical. The perennial, clearly stratified fruiting bodies are found all year round on hardwood, mostly on pastures and hazels.
