Trametes parvispora

Trametes parvispora is a small-spored bracket polypore described by Olou, Yorou and Langer in 2020 (MycoKeys 65) from West Africa, apparently Benin. GBIF has no usable occurrence records for it yet. It is not known in cultivation; conditions are based on the West African savanna-woodland climate and the genus.
