Which is a type of conifer, Taro or Phyllocladus?
Taro Taro ( ) commonly refers to the plant "Colocasia esculenta", the most widely cultivated species of several plants in the Araceae family which are used as vegetables for their corms, leaves, and petioles. Thus, this article describes the "dasheen" form of taro; another variety of taro is known as eddoe or "Colocasia antiquorum". Other species of taro include giant taro ("Alocasia macrorrhizos"), swamp taro ("Cyrtosperma merkusii"), and arrowleaf elephant's ear ("Xanthosoma sagittifolium").
Piloporia Piloporia is a genus of two species of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Finnish mycologist Tuomo Niemelä in 1982, with "P. sajanensis" as the type species. The Indian species "P. indica" was added to the genus in 1988. "P. sajanensis" is found in Asia and Europe. In Asia, it is usually recorded on spruce, fir, and larch, while in Europe it is commonly found on spruce, but also on pine. "Piloporia" species cause a white rot in conifers and hardwoods.
