Coniophora olivacea
Hattsvampar: 162. 1879.
Common Name: none
For descriptions see Bernicchia & Gorjón, Ginns, & Siegal & Schwarz.
Resupinate to effuso-reflexed on rotten hardwoods and conifers. Common.
Unknown.
Coniophora olivacea is distinguished by its effuso-reflexed to resupinate habitat on rotten wood, bumpy texture, and its grey-brown to olivaceous-brown coloration with whitish margins. Coniophora arida is similar and there may be cryptic species hiding under these two names.
