Inonotus duostratosus

Inonotus duostratosus is a Southeast Asian polypore described by Lloyd as Polyporus duostratosus and moved to Inonotus in 1988. Labels from Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia record it at the base of large living or dead trees in lowland rainforest, including a dipterocarp (Shorea). It is not cultivated; conditions come from the equatorial climate.
