Rhodofomitopsis lilacinogilva is a species of bracket fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae. Known primarily from Australia, it has also been recorded from Brazil and India. It is a white-rot fungus that grows on rotting eucalyptus wood. Its main identifying feature is the lilac colour of the pore surface on the underside of the fruit body.
The fungus produces shelf-like fruit bodies, usually 3–10 cm (1–4 in) in diameter, attached directly to the substrate without a stipe. The caps have concentrically ridged surfaces, and are brown with lilac tints. The lilac-coloured surface of the cap underside has 4–5 pores per millimetre. The spore print is white; spores are smooth, ellipsoid, and measure 6–9 by 2–3 μm.[8]
