About Rhodonia placenta (Fr.) Niemelä, K.H.Larss. & Schigel

The scientific name of this fungus is Rhodonia placenta (Fr.) Niemelä, K.H.Larss. & Schigel. Its fruiting body grows effused, meaning it spreads out across its growing substrate. The fruiting body is poroid, moderately thick, juicy, and soft, and it is colored pale rose or white. This species has a monomitic hyphal system, which means it produces only generative hyphae. All of these hyphae bear clamp connections. When the hyphae are young, they have thin walls, but they develop thick walls once the fruiting body reaches maturity. The spores produced by Rhodonia placenta are cylindrical in shape.
