Source ↗Panus conchatus, commonly known as the lilac oysterling, smooth panus, or conch panus, is a species of fungus. Despite being a gilled species, phylogenetic analysis has shown it is closely related to the pored species found in the family Polyporaceae. The fruit bodies are characterized by a smooth, lilac- or tan-colored cap, and decurrent gills. The fungus is saprophytic and fruits on the decomposing wood of a wide variety of deciduous and coniferous trees throughout the Northern Hemisphere.
