Summary

Description
English: An a-maze-ing fungus! The underside of Daedalea quercina displays wide gill-like pores radially-aligned in a pattern that resembles a maze. It is from this remarkable labyrinthine structure that the fungus gets its generic name for, according to Greek mythology it was Daedalus who constructed for King Minos, at Knossus, a labyrinth in which lived the Minotaur. These fungi are said to have been used as curry-combs for horses with tender skins, and like other brackets, for tinder when dried.
