Introduction/General
Fomes roseus (A. & S.) Cke., has been observed on dead coniferous stumps, etc., in the Murree Hills and elsewhere in Pakistan, causing brown cubical rot. The fungus has not been seen producing top rot, nor can it be regarded as a true dry rot fungus. A description of the sporophore and culture characters is given and methods of control are pointed out.
