Split Porecrust

Split Porecrust

Latin name: Schizopora paradoxa

Split Porecrust is a crust fungus, that grows as if the cap of the fungus is attached to the wood instead of the stalk. This is called ‘resupinate’, which means upside down.

Split Porecrust starts as small, circular patches. These patches grow and fuse together to form a large irregularly shaped white to creamy-ochre crust.

It can be found on dead wood, usually of deciduous trees, all year round.

It is widespread and fairly frequent in Britain.
