Inonotus arizonicus is a plant pathogen. I. arizonicus is a locally common saprotrophic polypore that induces white rot in sycamore trees in southwestern North America.[1] Host species include Platanus wrightii (Arizona sycamores) and Platanus racemosa (California sycamores).[2] The fruiting bodies, shaped like hooves or a plate or a stack of plates, can appear on trunks, at the base of living trees, or on stumps or snags.[3] In California this species is generally found south of the San Francisco Bay Area.[4]
