Laetiporus montanus is a species of polypore fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae. It is found in mountainous areas of central Europe and in China, where it grows on conifers.
Laetiporus montanus was first described as new to science by Czech mycologist Karel Černý in 1989.[1] However, the publication did not include a Latin description of the species, nor did it indicate the type, so the name was invalid according to nomenclatural rules. Michal Tomšovský and Libor Jankovský published the species validly in 2009. Although the fruit body of L. montanus is morphologically indistinguishable from the widespread L. sulphureus, it is distinct genetically.[2]
