The trees on which we find the Lackered Polypore and the Hemlock Varnish Shelf seems to be the criterion for identifying these two species, except for those found on birches. The criteria concerning the color of the cap margin and the number of pores per mm are contradictory in the descriptions given by various authors and according to our own observations.
