Fomitopsis cajanderi is a widely distributed bracket fungus. Commonly known as the rosy conk due to its rose-colored pore surface, it causes a disease called a brown pocket rot in various tree species. It is inedible.[1]
It may be identified by its small-to-medium-sized, fleshy, tough fruit-body, with a downy or crust-like top.[2]
