Inonotus fimbriatus

Inonotus fimbriatus is a polypore described from Costa Rica by Gómez and Ryvarden in 1985, named for its fringed margin. Most records come from high oak forest on the Cordillera de Talamanca and Volcán Barva at 2450–3050 m, with a few lowland records and one from Mérida, Venezuela. It is not cultivated; conditions come from the measured montane climate.
