Introduction to Distribution and Ecology of Sterile Conks of Inonotus obliquus. [PDF]

Mycobiology, 2008
Inonotus obliquus is a fungus that causes white heart rot on several broad-leaved species. This fungus forms typical charcoal-black, sterile conks (chaga) or cinder conks on infected stems of the birche (Betula spp). The dark brown pulp of the sterile conk is formed by a pure mycelial mass of fungus.
