Fistulina subhepatica

Fistulina subhepatica is a beefsteak fungus from subtropical Yunnan, China, described in 2014, that causes brown rot on Castanopsis and Lithocarpus. It resembles Fistulina hepatica but has larger spores and clamped hyphae. Most GBIF records are from Europe and are probably misapplied names, so climate data here is unreliable.
