Lenzites elegans – also known as Trametes elegans and Daedalea elegans – is a common polypore and wood-decay fungus with a pantropical distribution, found on hardwood hosts in regions including eastern North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.[2][3] Alluding to the pore surface which often exhibits a maze-like structure,[4] L. elegans is also referred to as white maze polypore.[5]
