Coltricia montagnei is a species of fungus in the family Hymenochaetaceae. It is characterized by its annual to biennial growth habit, forming hoof-shaped to semicircular brackets with a velvety to hairy upper surface and pores on the underside. In East and Central Texas, Coltricia montagnei typically grows on deciduous trees, particularly oak and elm, often in clusters or solitary individuals. The fungus is relatively rare in this region, but can be found in areas with rich soil and adequate moisture, such as along streams and rivers.
