The fruiting body of this mushroom is perennial, its length can be from 5 to 20 cm. At first it has the shape of a kidney, then it becomes spherical, resembling an influx. The tubular layer is convex, rounded, brown-rusty in color, layered, with small pores. It is this layer that is a characteristic feature of this fungus. The fruit body grows sideways, it is thick, sessile, has irregularities and concentric furrows on top. Radial cracks often appear on it. The color of the fruit body is gray-brown or black-gray, the edges are rounded, rusty-brown.

Oak polypore (Phellinus robustus) grows from early spring to late autumn. It is a parasite, feels good on the trunks of living trees (most often oaks). After the first stage of development, the fungus behaves like a saprotroph; it occurs more often – in groups or singly. It provokes the development of white rot. In addition to oaks, which it prefers, it can also develop on some other deciduous tree species. So, in addition to oak, it can grow on chestnut, hazel, maple, less often on acacia, willow and aspen, but its “main host” is still oak. It occurs throughout the year, can grow not only in forests, but also in the middle of park alleys, in coastal areas near ponds.

Most mycologists consider tinder fungi as a group of fungi that grow mainly on the trunks of deciduous trees, including alder, aspen, birch, oak, and ash. Most of these mushroom species are difficult to distinguish. The false oak tinder fungus belongs to the category of original varieties and prefers to grow mainly on oak.

A similar species is the false aspen tinder fungus, the fruiting bodies of which are smaller in size, characterized by a gray-brown or dark gray surface.

The powerful tinder fungus is similar to another inedible species – the gartig tinder fungus. However, the fruiting bodies of the latter grow completely on the surface of the wood and grow mainly on the trunks of coniferous trees (most often – fir).
