bracket fungus

Bracket fungus

Bracket fungi, or shelf fungi, are among the many groups of fungi that comprise the phylum Basidiomycota. Characteristically, they produce shelf- or bracket-shaped or occasionally circular fruiting bodies called conks that lie in a close planar grouping of separate or interconnected horizontal rows. Brackets can range from only a single row of a few caps, to dozens of rows of caps that can weigh several hundred pounds. They are mainly found on trees and coarse woody debris, and may resemble mushrooms. Some form annual fruiting bodies while others are perennial and grow larger year after year. Bracket fungi are typically tough and sturdy and produce their spores, called basidiospores, within the pores that typically make up the undersurface.

Definition of bracket fungus in the English dictionary

The definition of bracket fungus in the dictionary is any saprotroph or parasitic fungus of the basidiomycetous family Polyporaceae, growing as a shelflike mass from tree trunks and producing spores in vertical tubes in the bracket.
