Pycnoporus cinnabarinus Mycological characteristics
	Pores on hymenium
	Hymenium attachment is not applicable
	Lacks a stipe
	Ecology is saprotrophic
	Edibility is inedible

Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, also known as the cinnabar polypore, is a saprophytic, white-rot decomposer. Its fruit body is a bright orange shelf fungus. It is common in many areas and is widely distributed throughout the world. It is inedible.^[2] It produces cinnabarinic acid to protect itself from bacteria.^[3]

The stipe and the pore surface had a positive reaction with potassium hydroxide.
