Leiotrametes menziesii is a crust fungus that grows on deciduous trees, particularly oak and elm. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits in the spring and summer months, producing effused-reflexed to nearly resupinate basidiocarps with a smooth, waxy, grayish-brown to brown hymenium. The pores are small, circular, and numbering 3-5 per mm. It is commonly found on living trees, stumps, and logs in wooded areas, especially in riparian zones and along streams.

Pores of light colored timber mushrooms Leiotrametes menziesii (Trametes menziesii)(?) in a wet area in Lick Creek Park. College Station, Texas, June 16, 2018Raccoon Run, College Station, TX 77845, USAObservations of Leiotrametes menziesii in East and Central Texas reveal the fungus growing in wet areas. In Lick Creek Park, College Station, Texas, light-colored timber mushrooms were found on June 16, 2018. The specimens had distinctive pores, which is a characteristic feature of the species. The growth habitat suggests that Leiotrametes menziesii thrives in moist environments, possibly indicating a preference for high humidity and abundant water availability. The specific location within Lick Creek Park, known for its wet areas, further supports this observation. The light-colored appearance and pore structure of the mushrooms are consistent with the species' identification as Leiotrametes menziesii, previously referred to as Trametes menziesii. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the fungus's ecological preferences in East and Central Texas. Further studies can build upon these observations to explore its distribution and habits.
