A large polyporoid mushroom from the West Usambara Mountains in North-eastern Tanzania produces dark brown, up to 60-cm large fruiting bodies that at maturity may weigh more than 10 kg. It has a high rate of mycelial growth and regeneration and was found growing on both dry and green leaves of shrubs; attached to the base of living trees, and it was also observed to degrade dead snakes and insects accidentally coming into contact with it. Phylogenetic analyses based on individual and concatenated data sets of nrLSU, nrSSU and the RPB2 and TEF1 genes showed it, together with and , to form a monophyletic group in . Based on morphological features and molecular data, it is described as .
一种来自坦桑尼亚东北部乌桑巴拉山脉西部的大型多孔菌蘑菇，能产生深褐色、直径达60厘米的子实体，成熟时重量可能超过10千克。它的菌丝体生长和再生速度很快，被发现生长在灌木的干叶和绿叶上；附着在活树的基部，还观察到它能降解偶然接触到的死蛇和昆虫。基于nrLSU、nrSSU、RPB2和TEF1基因的单个数据集和串联数据集进行的系统发育分析表明，它与[具体物种1]和[具体物种2]一起，在[某个分类单元]中形成一个单系类群。基于形态特征和分子数据，它被描述为[具体学名]。
