Habitat and Range
SIMILAR SPECIES
Anomoloma myceliosum is separated mainly by its white pore surface and rhizomorphs (Gilbertson). Anomoporia bombycina is common: it has a pore surface that is yellowish tan to lavender, rhizomorphs are usually absent, and spores are larger, (Gilbertson).Habitat
annual; on coniferous wood, causing a brown rot, more rarely on hardwood such as maple or birch, (Gilbertson(1)), causes a white rot: contrary to previous reports, does not cause a brown rot (Ginns)
