Albatrellus subrubescens – forest lamb

Synonyms: Albatrellus ovinus, Polyporus subrubescens, Scutiger ovinus, Scutiger subrubescens.

Common name: forest lamb.

Extract from Wikipedia article: Albatrellus subrubescens is a species of polypore fungus in the family Albatrellaceae. The fruit bodies (mushrooms) of the fungus have whitish to pale buff-colored caps that can reach up to 14.5 cm (5.7 in) in diameter, and stems up to 7 cm (2.8 in) long and 2 cm (0.8 in) thick. On the underside of the caps are tiny light yellow to pale greenish-yellow pores, the site of spore production. When the fruit bodies are fresh, the cap and pores stain yellow where exposed, handled, or bruised.

Finnish: Vuohenkääpä, Swedish: Lammticka.
