Assessment Notes
Taxonomic notes
Fulvifomes umbrinellus is currently Fomitiporella umbrinella, which resembles Fomitiporella caviphila in the similar pore (6–8 per mm) and basidiospore sizes (4–5 x 3.5–4 µm), but its basidiocarps are much thinner than in the latter (Gilbertson & Ryvarden 1987, Zhou 2014).
Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?

Conservation Actions
Some records in Brazil are in unprotected areas.
Research needed
Other areas should be studied in order to assess the distribution of this species. Molecular analysis can help to know if all the specimens reported are the same species.
Use and Trade
None.
