Peniophora albobadia

Peniophora albobadia is a species of crust fungus in the family Peniophoraceae. It is a saprobic fungus, forming spreading crusts on the bark of decaying twigs and fallen branches of many hardwood species. The species epithet is derived from albo-, white, and badi- meaning reddish-brown, the epithet accurately describing the vivid contrast between the fertile area and the margin. [2]

First described scientifically by Lewis David de Schweinitz in 1822,[3] it was transferred to the genus Peniophora by Jacques Boidin in 1961.[4] It is most commonly found in the United States.[5]

The common name, "Giraffe Spots," was coined by a member of the New York Mycological Society, based on specimens found during surveys of the boroughs of NYC. [6]
