Trichaptum biforme, commonly known as the violet-pored bracket fungus,[2] purple tooth, or violet-toothed polypore, is a species of poroid fungus in the order Hymenochaetales.
Description
[edit | edit source]Growing to 1–7.5 centimetres (1⁄2–3 in) in width, it is initially violet before fading into zones of white to brown, retaining violet at the margin for a time.[3][4][5]
Similar species
[edit | edit source]It is sometimes confused with Trichaptum abietinum, which grows almost exclusively on conifers,[5] as do T. byssogenum and T. fuscoviolaceum.[3] Skeletocutis lilacina is also similar.[3]
Distribution and habitat
[edit | edit source]It is widely distributed and occurs on at least 65 tree hosts, but rarely on conifers.[5]
It is a saprobe that decomposes hardwood stumps and logs.[4][5]
