polyporus
Polyporus is a genus of fungi that includes species commonly known as bracket fungi or polypores. These fungus species are often recognized by their leathery or woody fruiting bodies which develop on the sides of trees. The name "Polyporus" is derived from Greek words that mean 'many pores', which corresponds with these fungi's characteristic feature of having numerous small tubes or pores on the underside of their fruiting bodies where spores are produced.
