Ischnoderma benzoinum (Wahlenb.) P. Karst., Acta Soc. Fauna Flora fenn. 2(no. 1): 32 (1881) [1881-1885] Boletus benzoinus Wahlenb., Fl. suec. 2: 1076 (1826)
Polyporus benzoinus (Wahlenb.) Fr., Elench. fung. (Griefswald) 1: 100 (1828)
Habitat: In woodland or plantations, on dead and decayed wood of conifers such as Abies, Araucaria, Picea, Pinus and Pseudotsuga spp., often covering large fallen trunks.
Notes: Generally uncommon, but increasingly recorded in southern and south-eastern England. Very similar to Ischnoderma resinosum with few distinct differences. Immature basidiomes have a soft, sappy consistency (the 'leptoporoid’ stage) later becoming hard and fertile (the 'fomitoid' stage).
