Tyromyces pulcherrimus, commonly known as the strawberry bracket, is a species of poroid fungus in the family Polyporaceae.
The fungus is found natively in Australia and New Zealand, where it causes a white rot in living and dead logs of southern beech and eucalyptus.
The fungus was first described in 1922 by English-born Australian dentist and botanist Leonard Rodway, who called it Polyporus pulcherrimus.
Curtis Gates Lloyd, an American mycologist to whom Rodway had sent a specimen for examination, suggested a similarity to Albatrellus confluens.
The hyphae in the context are arranged in a parallel fashion, and strongly agglutinated to form a densely packed tissue.
[4] Tyromyces pulcherrimus is a white rot fungus that grows on the exposed heartwood of several tree species.
