Birch Polypore grows on dead birch, It is kidney-shaped in outline; broadly convex to more or less flat; growing shelf-like or hoof-like. Its surface is dry, with a smooth or somewhat roughened "skin" that often peels away, turning whitish to pale brownish in age. The outer margin is rolled over smoothly to form a rim around the pore surface.

Birch Polypore is also known as fungus of the ‘iceman’ from the Copper Age found in 1991, who carried Piptoporus betulinus fruiting bodies attached to his clothing on his journey in the Alps. Mycologists believe that the Birch Polypore he carried was used for medicinal purposes.
