Taxonomy of Amauroderma (Basidiomycetes, Polyporaceae). Mem (34) NYBG Partner belongs to the Virgin IslandsMembers of the Amauroderma are wood rotters found on decayed branches and trunks, both standing and fallen and on roots of living or decayed trees, sometimes appearing as if emerged from the ground.
