Many mycologists split it into three species or subspecies Daedaleopsis confragosa, Daedaleopsis tricolor and rare Daedaleopsis septentrionalis. They don't differ microscopically. But, indeed one can find strikingly different specimens having from small, vividly and beautifully red pilei to dirt whitish and pale beige-brown examples with any possible kind of pore surface one can imagine, from purely lamellate or elongated pores, sometimes labyrinthine to purely poroid. Taking into account only macroscopic traits it is hard to believe for a laymen that all these forms are one and the same species. The find photographed is interesting because of its unusual round form. Daedaleopsis confragosa is usually broadly attached, bracket like form.Growing solitary; pileus diameter 4 - 4.5 cm and 1.5 cm thick; taste almost none, very mildly bitter; smell mild, mushroomy; characteristic reddish bruising of pore surface not seen, possibly because the pileus was already quite old; SP whitish, lightly beige, oac900.Spores smooth, cylindrical.

Many mycologists split it into three species or subspecies Daedaleopsis confragosa, Daedaleopsis tricolor and rare Daedaleopsis septentrionalis. They don't differ microscopically. But, indeed one can find strikingly different specimens having from small, vividly and beautifully red pilei to dirt whitish and pale beige-brown examples with any possible kind of pore surface one can imagine, from purely lamellate or elongated pores, sometimes labyrinthine to purely poroid. Taking into account only macroscopic traits it is hard to believe for a laymen that all these forms are one and the same species. The find photographed is interesting because of its unusual round form. Daedaleopsis confragosa is usually broadly attached, bracket like form.Growing solitary; pileus diameter 4 - 4.5 cm and 1.5 cm thick; taste almost none, very mildly bitter; smell mild, mushroomy; characteristic reddish bruising of pore surface not seen, possibly because the pileus was already quite old; SP whitish, lightly beige, oac900.Spores smooth, cylindrical.
