Sarcodontia crocea

Sarcodontia crocea is a species of toothed crust fungus in the family Meruliaceae. The species was first described scientifically in 1822 by Lewis David de Schweinitz, who called it Sistotrema croceum.[2] It was transferred to the genus Sarcodontia by Czech mycologist František Kotlaba in 1953.[3] S. crocea usually occurs on old fruit trees, in which it causes a white rot. It is found in Europe, Asia, and North America. It is red-listed in several European countries.[4]

Fresh fruit bodies of S. crocea have an intense, fruity odour resembling pineapple or grated apples. The furan-derived compounds 4-(furan-3-yl)benzaldehyde and 4-(5-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)benzaldehyde have been identified as contributing to this odour.[5]
