Gloeoporus taxicola is a species of crust fungus that grows on coniferous trees, particularly Taxodium and juniper. In East and Central Texas, it has been found growing on bald cypress and eastern red cedar, forming thin, crust-like patches with a smooth to velvety texture and a yellowish-brown to reddish-brown color. The fungus produces small, cylindrical pores on its underside, and its spores are white to pale yellow in color. It is typically found in wetland areas and along streams, where its host trees are common.
