Scutiger pes-caprae, commonly known as the goat's foot,[1] is a species of fungus in the family Albatrellaceae.
It was first described officially as a species of Polyporus by Christian Hendrik Persoon in 1818. In recent decades, it was known most commonly as a species of Albatrellus until molecular research published by Canadian mycologist Serge Audet in 2010 revealed that it was more appropriate in an emended version of the genus Scutiger.
The brown cap tends toward a convex kidney shape, sometimes lobed. It is NaNcm (-2,147,483,648inches) wide, while the stem is NaNcm (-2,147,483,648inches) tall and NaNcm (-2,147,483,648inches) thick. The flesh is NaNmm thick and whitish. The spore print is white.[2]
Scutiger ellisii, Laeticutis cristata, and Jahnoporus hirtus bear similarities.
It is found in western North America, under conifers and on rotting wood, from August to February.
