Lignosus dimiticus

Lignosus dimiticus is a species of poroid fungus in the family Polyporaceae that is found in Zaire. Its fruit body features a funnel-shaped cap that is up to 10 cm (3.9 in) in diameter and 15 mm (0.6 in) in the centre. The smooth, white stipe has a woody texture, and measures 8 cm (3.1 in) long and 12–20 mm (0.5–0.8 in) thick. Unlike other members of Lignosus, L. dimiticus has a dimitic hyphal system, as it lacks binding hyphae in its trama and context.[1]
