Climacocystis borealis is a species of poroid fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae.
Taxonomy
First described in 1821 by Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries, it has since acquired an extensive synonymy of alternate scientific names.[1] Until 2014, it was the sole member of the Climacocystis,[2] a genus circumscribed by Czech mycologists František Kotlaba and Zdeněk Pouzar in 1958,[3] when the newly described Chinese species Climacocystis montana was added to the genus.[4]
Ecology and distribution
Climacocystis borealis is both a saprophyte and a secondary pathogen that causes a heart rot in the roots and bole of host trees.[5] It is widely distributed, and has been recorded from Asia, Europe, Oceania, and North America. In China, it is found in Shanxi, Guangdong, Sichuan, and Tibet.[6]
