Albatrellus ovinus, commonly known as sheep polypore, is a terrestrial fungus found in western North America, and Northern Europe. Although known as Sheep Polypore, this fungus is not phylogenetically related to Polyporales (shelf fungi).
It is very closely related to the rarer A. subrubescens,[1] from which it may be distinguished microscopically by the amyloid spore wall.
