The scaly saw blade forms 5–15 cm wide fruiting bodies with a yellowish-white base color, which are covered with coarse, brownish scales. The mushrooms are arched when young, later spread out with a humped or recessed center of the cap. The edge is rolled up for a long time and connected to the stem by a fleeting veil. The wide lamellas run down the handle and have roughly notched or sawn cutting edges. Their color is yellowish-white, the spore powder white. The eccentric to the side stalk is 3–6, in exceptional cases up to 10 cm long and forms a kind of root stuck in the substrate . The stem is hard and tough, whitish and brownish in color to the base. It has an indistinct ring zone, underneath it is covered with scales. The meat is soft at first, later tough. Its color is yellowish white. The mushroom smells sweet and resinous, very faintly of anise or apple. On built-in wood in dark rooms (mines), the flaky saw blade forms large, sterile, antler-like, branched dark forms.

ecology

The scaly saw blade is a wood-dwelling saprobiont , which mainly colonizes coniferous wood, very rarely also hardwood, and which causes brown rot with typical cubic breakage in the affected wood . Preferred substrates are spruce and pine . The scaly sawblade lives in pine and spruce forests, beech and hornbeam-oak forests, light hardwood meadows, clearcuts, forest roadsides and clearings. It grows there in very sunny, warm places on dry stumps of conifers. It can also occur on built-in softwood, both in the open (railway sleepers, beams and fences) and in warm, humid buildings and in mines.

distribution

The species is apparently cosmopolitan and primarily inhabits the temperate latitudes of the southern and northern hemisphere, but is also found in northern India, Central America and South Africa. In Europe it occurs from the Mediterranean area to Scandinavia and is distributed throughout Germany.

meaning

The scaly saw blade is not edible.

As a colonist of railway sleepers , telephone poles , beams and built-in wood in buildings and mines, it can cause damage. The species is particularly resistant to coal tar oil.
