Oxyporus populinus (formerly Fomes connatus), found most commonly on maple and beech trees, is associated with wounds on the lower portion of the tree (below 8 feet). The fruiting structure is usually a small, whitish conk often covered with green moss. It causes a dark, wet, spongy decay that ends a short distance from the wound.
