Phellinus rusty-brown is a tree-dwelling species. It usually grows on fallen conifers, prefers spruce, pine, fir.
Also often found in blueberries.
It usually grows in the mountain forests of Siberia, but in the European part of our country it is quite rare. Phellinus ferrugineofuscus causes yellow rot on the wood of the Phellinus ferrugineofuscus settlement, while it is stratified along the annual rings.
Fruiting bodies prostrate, have a very porous hymenophore.
In their infancy, the bodies look like small pubescent tubercles of mycelium, which grow rapidly, merge, forming fruiting bodies extending along the wood.
The bodies often have stepped or low pseudopylaea. The edges of the fungus are sterile, lighter than the tubules.
The surface of the hymenophore is red, chocolate, brown, often with brown tints. Tubules of the hymenophore are single-layered, may be slightly stratified, straight, sometimes open. The pores are very small.
Belongs to the inedible category.
