Scutiger is a genus of fungi in the family Albatrellaceae,[1] which includes S. oregonensis, the fungus tuber.[2][3]
General characteristics
Species in Scutiger are terrestrial, annual, and usually have simple, bright-colored, mesoporous hymenophores. The surface anoderm is variously decorated; the context is usually white, but rarely colored, and is fleshy to tough—rigid and fragile when dry. The Hymenium is porous, can be white or colored, and has thin-walled tubes; The spores are smooth, or rarely echinulate and hyaline.[4]
The surface of the pileus can be uneven, squamous, or rugose as in S. oregonensis or S. decurrens; or smooth and hispid-tomentose, as in S. hispidellus (synonymous with Jahnoporus hirtus, which was named for this quality.[5]
