Laetiporus flos-musae

Laetiporus flos-musae Overeem was named in 1927 in Heyne's De Nuttige Planten van Nederlandsch Indië, a book of useful plants of the Dutch East Indies, which suggests it was a Javanese fungus with a local use. GBIF has no occurrence records, and modern studies of Asian Laetiporus have not been checked here.
