Daedalea quercina* (L.) Pers., Syn. meth. fung. (Göttingen) 2:500 (1801)

Remarks: Easy to recognize because of its hard corky to woody pale colored basidiomes and distinctive daedaloid hymenophore (Ryvarden 2015). A common species, on the Northern Hemisphere it is known as oak mazegill due to its frequent occurrence in Quercus trees, although it is proved not to be a specific host (Zarzyński 2007). It also has anti-inflammatory importance (Gebhardt et al. 2007). Lindner et al. (2011) suggests that more studies should be develop to determine if this is a cryptic species complex.

Ecology & Distribution: Temperate to tropical species (Ryvarden 2015). In America, it is known from Colombia and Brazil, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (Flora do Brasil 2020). New record for the Cerrado region.
