From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Irpex lacteus is a common
crust fungus distributed throughout
temperate areas of the world. It is the
type of the genus
Irpex . Irpex lacteus is considered a
polypore , but depending on growth conditions it can also produce a
hydnoid hymenophore. Due to this variability and abundance of the species it has been
described as a new species to science numerous times and subsequently has an extensive
synonymy . The complete
genome sequence of Irpex lacteus was reported in 2017.
[1]
Irpex lacteus is a
white-rot fungus that inhabits mainly
angiosperm branches and trunks.
[2] It is one of the most common wood-rotting fungi for instance in urban North America. It is inedible.
[3] The fungus has been identified as a cause of pulmonary infections in immuno-compromised humans.
[4]
Taxonomy
The fungus was first
described in 1818 by
Elias Magnus Fries , who called it Sistotrema lacteum .
[5] Fries later made it the
type species of the genus
Irpex in 1828.
