The fungi I have chosen to write about is the Cyanosporus Caesius, also known as the blue
cheese polypore. The cyanosporus is a brown-rot fungal genus, which can be identified by its
tinted blue basidiocarps (Liu, 2021). Cyanosporus Caesius is commonly found in Tasmania, Austria.
It possesses pileate, also referred to as effused reflexed basidiocarps, accompanied by a tomentose
pileal surface, which is bluish-gray or grayish-brown in color (Liu, 2021). Recent studies on Cyanosporus
have created distinctions on the fungi in this genus-group who were, until recent phylogenetic analyses,
misplaced and misidentified as belonging to the Postia Caesia complex (Liu, 2021). These analyses
showcased five new species discovered based on morphological features and molecular data
and resulted in the transfer of fifteen species that were previously recognized as part of the Postia
Caesia complex, to the Cyanosporus genus (Liu, 2021).
