Albatrellus ovinus is a terrestrial polypore fungus found in western North America, and Northern Europe. It is very closely related to the more common A. subrubescens,[1] from which it may be distinguished microscopically by the amyloid spore wall. It is edible and sold commercially in Finland.[2]
Similar species
Albatrellus subrubescens is similar in appearance, but different color. Microscopically, the spores of A. subrubescens are amyloid, while the ones of A. ovinus are not.[3][4]
