''Gloeoporus dichrous'' is a species of fungus in the family Irpicaceae. First described as ''Polyporus dichrous'' by Elias Magnus Fries in 1815, it was later transferred to the genus ''Gloeoporus'' by Italian mycologist Giacomo Bresadola in 1912. The variety ''G. dichrous'' var. ''niger'' was proposed in 2008 after molecular analysis revealed the two taxa were conspecific.

I have found this species difficult to photograph on a couple of occasions now. Light bounces very strangely off of it (causing a smudged appearance around the white edges/pores). It is really interesting. Posted 5 years ago
