Trametes speciosa

Trametes speciosa is the name Zmitrovich, Wasser and Ezhov gave in 2012 to the old Hexagonia speciosa Fr., a bracket polypore with large, honeycomb-like pores. GBIF records come mainly from African savanna and woodland, from South Africa and Zimbabwe to Ghana and Senegal. It is not known in cultivation; conditions come from the measured sites plus general Trametes biology.

Where it grows wild

Presumably on dead hardwood in savanna woodland and forest edges; the records give no habitat detail in the source reached.

Few records carry an elevation.
