Wooded areas. 5 - 15 cms. June - December Inedible It causes white rot, a type of wood decay in which lignin is degraded and cellulose remains as a light-colored residue. The fruit bodies grow singly or in groups, sometimes in tiers, in the wounds of living trees. Its preferred host is willow, but it has also been found on birch and other hardwoods. If rubbed the pore surface blushes wine red, hence the name. When picking any fungus for consumption,
caution should be exercised at all times.
