Species Profile
Resinoporia crassa is a species of fungus belonging to the family Fomitopsidaceae.
Resinoporia crassa, a critically endangered polypore fungus, faces severe decline primarily due to habitat loss from deforestation and degradation of old-growth forests where it depends on specific host trees. The species' extremely limited distribution and specialized ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human activities that fragment or destroy its forest habitat.
