Scientific name: Phlebia tremellosa (Schrader: Fries)
Nakasone & Burdsall
Derivation of name: Phlebia means "veins"; tremellosa
means "trembling."
Synonymy: Merulius tremellosus Fries
Common names: Trembling Merulius.
Phylum: Basidiomycota
Order: Polyporales
Family: Meruliaceae
Occurrence on wood substrate: Saprobic; resupinate to
effused-reflexed to sessile, sometimes in overlapping
clusters, mostly on decaying deciduous wood; July through
January.
Dimensions: Sheetlike portions 2.5-7.5 cm wide with
projecting caps up to 2 cm long; margins often fusing
laterally to form more extensive sheetlike growths.
Upper surface: Caps white to pale yellow; hairy, wooly.
Pore surface: Pore-like with a network of radiating folds,
ridges, and crossveins; yellowish to brownish-orange to
pinkish-orange; rubbery, flexible, and gelatinous.
Edibility: Inedible.
Comments: The network of radiating and cross-veined
folds and ridges on the fertile surface of Phlebia species is
not a true tube layer as in the true polypores. Basidia cover
just the lining of the tubes in the true polypores but basidia
cover the entire surface of the pore-like layer in Phlebia.
