Tramète sépia. [...] Il est de couleur fauve plus ou moins vive, puis, à mesure qu'il vieillit, il devient bai foncé, marron, bistré ou sépia, d’où son nom vulgaire. La marge du chapeau reste fauve jaunâtre. Les lamelles sont minces, rigides et serrées [...] Cette espèce fait son habitat privilégié du bois travaillé-planches et piquets de conifères [...] et c'est sur les barrières des pâturages où elle s’établit aussi très souvent qu'on a le plus de chances de la rencontrer. Elle croît rarement en forêt, mais on la rencontre parfois sur des troncs de conifères morts. Elle provoque une pourriture rouge, sèche, très active. 2, record 1, French, - lenzite%20des%20cl%C3%B4tures
