Hohenbuehelia cyphelliformis is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Pleurotaceae. It is characterized by its fan-shaped or semicircular cap, typically 1-4 cm in diameter, with a wavy or lobed margin and a smooth, velvety surface. The gills are decurrent, forming a network of veins on the underside of the cap. In East and Central Texas, Hohenbuehelia cyphelliformis has been found growing on decaying wood, particularly on oak and pine logs, in moist, shaded areas. It typically fruits from spring to fall, with peak activity during the summer months. The fungus is relatively rare in the region, but can be locally common in areas with suitable habitat.
