Trametes azurea is based on Fries's Polystictus azureus and was moved to Trametes by G.H. Cunningham in 1965; the name suggests a bluish tint. GBIF holds about 13 wild records, mostly from Japan, with a few from the USA, South Africa and France. Little is published on its ecology, so the conditions below use the measured warm-temperate climate and other Trametes.
