Zimtfarbener Borstenscheibling

Hymenochaete cinnamomea is a cinnamon-brown, leathery corticioid fungus forming resupinate to effused-reflexed fruiting bodies on dead hardwood. It inhabits temperate and subtropical forests, growing on the bark of dead standing trees and fallen logs. This wood-decay fungus causes brown rot in hardwood species and participates in forest nutrient cycling.
