Gyroporus subalbellus is a species of bolete fungus that typically grows 3-6 cm in diameter, with a pale yellow to cream-colored cap and white to yellowish pores. The stem is often club-shaped and yellowish in color. In East and Central Texas, Gyroporus subalbellus has been found growing in association with oak and pine trees, particularly in sandy soils and wooded areas during the summer and fall months. Fruitings are often solitary or scattered, and the fungus can be encountered in a variety of habitats, including woodland edges, clearings, and along trails.
Observations of Gyroporus subalbellus in East and Central Texas reveal the fungus grows in various locations, including floodplains and under pines. On Caney Creek Trail in Sam Houston National Forest, it was spotted on July 7, 2018. Multiple sightings occurred on Richards Loop Trail, also in Sam Houston National Forest, on June 27, 2020, with some specimens found dissected. The fungus was seen growing under pines on the same trail. Further observations were made in Big Thicket National Preserve near Turkey Creek South Parking Lot on June 12, 2021, with a single mushroom and its cap documented. Some sightings are tentative, potentially being G. roseialbus instead, highlighting the need for precise identification. The fungus appears to thrive in these regions during the summer months, particularly in June and July.
