Piptoporus australiensis, commonly known as curry punk, is a polyporous bracket fungi.

[1] Often found on dead eucalypt trees and logs, often favouring fire-damaged wood.

Deep orange-yellow pores exude copious amounts of saffron-yellow juice.

[2] The Field Guide to Australian Fungi by Bruce A. Fuhrer describes it in this way: "Piptoporus australiensis is usually called Curry Punk because of its persistent curry-like odour, even when old and dry.

The large brackets occur on logs, particularly those that have been charred by fire, causing a brown cubical rot.
