Trametes benetosta

A Trametes described by E. J. H. Corner in 1989 from collections made in 1960–65 on Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands (Gallego, about 700 m) and at Woitapi in Papua New Guinea. Trametes are white-rot polypores that form leathery, shelf-like brackets on dead hardwood. Nothing further is published on it in the sources checked.
