Phlebia incarnata is a species of polypore fungus in the family Meruliaceae. It is inedible.[2]

## Taxonomy

The species was originally described as Merulius incarnatus by Lewis David de Schweinitz in 1822.[3] In its taxonomic history, it has been transferred to the genera Cantharellus (1832),[4] Sesia (1891),[5] and Byssomerulius (1974),[6] and renamed as a form of Merulius tremellosus. It was transferred to Phlebia in 1984 when Nakasone and Burdsall synonymized Merulius with Phlebia.[7]
