Scutiger pes-caprae, commonly known as the goat's foot,[2] is a species of fungus in the family Albatrellaceae. It was first described officially as a species of Polyporus by Christian Hendrik Persoon in 1818.[3] In recent decades, it was known most commonly as a species of Albatrellus until molecular research published by Canadian mycologist Serge Audet in 2010 revealed that it was more appropriate in an emended version of the genus Scutiger.[4]
