Extract from Wikipedia article: Lenzites elegans, also known as Trametes elegans and Daedalea elegans, is a common polypore and wood-decay fungus with a pantropical distribution found on hardwood hosts in regions including Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. Though it is referred to as Lenzites elegans on this wikipedia page, The Species Fungorum places it current name as Trametes Elegans. It has recently been considered a complex that is split into three different species: T. elegans,T. aesculi, and T. repanda.
