Corticium roseolum Massee (1891) Himantia rosea (Pers.)

(1801) Corticium roseum is a species of fungus in the family Corticiaceae.

Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are effused, smooth, corticioid, and pink.

The species has a wide, north and south temperate distribution and in Europe is typically found on dead, attached branches of Salix and Populus.

Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has partly confirmed this.

Corticium boreoroseum, C. medioroseum, and C. malagasoroseum are separate species, based on DNA evidence, whilst C. erikssonii and C. lombardiae are synonyms of C.
