Propolis (fungus)
Genus of fungi / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Propolis is a genus of fungi in the family Rhytismataceae. The genus contains about 14 species.[3] This is not to be confused with bee propolis, also known as 'bee glue', which is a byproduct of an active beehive and is not a fungus.
