Description

Climacodon sanguineus belongs to the family Meruliaceae, order Polyporales in the phylum Basidiomycota. It is recognised by its scarlet red colour and velvety cap, with coral to salmon coloured spines or teeth-like protrusions on the underside of the cap. Presently, C. sanguineus has only been found in one locality in Malaysia, restricted to highland forest in Cameron Highlands. Climacodon sanguineus has not yet been assessed for the IUCN Red List although a study by Moreno et al. (2017) reported this fungus as an extremely rare species. Thus, it is crucial that further studies be conducted on this species and its conservation status assessed.
