Fuscoporia gilva, commonly known as the oak conk,[1] is a species of fungal plant pathogen which infects several hosts.

The caps are usually semicircular with lumpy margins, 2–10 centimetres (3⁄4–3+7⁄8 inches) wide, with zonate colouration ranging from dark brown to light reddish-brown or yellowish at the margin, which is up to 1 cm thick and velvety.

[3] Mensularia radiata is usually found on non-oak hardwoods; fresh specimens often exhibit white-tipped pores near the margin.

[3] In traditional Chinese medicine, it is used to treat stomachaches and cancer; polysaccharides isolated from lab-grown F. gilvus have been shown to inhibit the growth of melanoma in a mouse model.
