Antrodia albida is a crust fungus that grows on dead hardwood trees, particularly oak and maple. In East and Central Texas, it has been found to fruit in the spring and fall, typically on decaying logs and stumps. The fungus produces small, white to cream-colored pores on its underside and has a waxy to leathery texture. It is relatively rare in the region, but can be locally common in areas with abundant deciduous tree species.
