Cryptoporus volvatus is a polypore fungus that decomposes the rotting sapwood of conifers. It is an after effect of attack by the pine bark beetle.[1] The fungus was originally described by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck in 1875 as Polyporus volvatus.[2] Cornelius Lott Shear transferred it to the genus Cryptoporus in 1902.[3] The species is inedible.[4]
The fruiting body is 2–6 across, and cream or tan in color.[5] A hole is either torn by insects or a tear appears on the underside.[5] The spores are pinkish.[5]
