Sarcodon leucopus is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae.

[2] Mycologists Rudolph Arnold Maas Geesteranus and John Axel Nannfeldt transferred it to the genus Sarcodon in 1969.

[3] Fruit bodies of the fungus have flattened to slightly depressed caps up to 20 cm (8 in) in diameter.

The surface texture, initially finely felt-like, later cracks to form shiny scales.

[5] Fruit bodies of Sarcodon leucopus contain novel compounds called sarcoviolins that have been shown to have antioxidative and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity.
