Hexagonia vesparia
Wasp Nest Polypore
The fruit body is a bracket-like growth from wood. It has a hard corky to woody texture and may extend 5 or so centimetres out from the wood. It is very thick where it is attached to the wood. On the underside there are large pores of various shapes, some circular but many are polygonal, elongated or curvy.
The upper surface is yellow brown to darker brown. Initially the pores may be creamy or greyish (because of pale crystals that coat the hyphae that are there) but in aged specimens the pores may become yellow brown to brownish.
Found on dead wood or live trees.
Formerly it was known as Osmoporus gunnii.
Hexagonia vesparia is listed in the following regions:
