Extract from Wikipedia article: Neofavolus alveolaris is a species of polypore fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It is widely distributed in the temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere. Its kidney- or fan-shaped fruit bodies measure 1–8 cm (0.4–3.1 in) in diameter. Initially reddish, they become cream to white when dry. The pores on the cap underside are angular to hexagonal and relatively large (0.5–3 mm diameter). The fungus causes a white rot in hardwoods.

Neofavolus alveolaris is a species of polypore fungus that grows on deciduous trees, particularly oak and elm. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits from May to October, producing semicircular to fan-shaped caps with a porous underside and a distinctive alveolate appearance. The fungus is common in the region's woodlands and along streams, where it can be found growing singly or in small groups on living trees or stumps.

Caps of hexagonal-pored polypore mushrooms (Neofavolus alveolaris) collected from thin branches of a fallen beech in Big Creek Scenic Area of Sam Houston National Forest. Shepherd, Texas, July 10, 2021Lone Star Hiking Trail, Coldspring, TX 77331, USAObservations of Neofavolus alveolaris in East and Central Texas reveal the fungus grows on thin branches of fallen beech trees. In the Big Creek Scenic Area of Sam Houston National Forest, hexagonal-pored polypore mushrooms were found on dry branches, showcasing a distinctive pattern. The caps of the mushrooms were observed on sticks from fallen beech trees, displaying a unique arrangement. Collected specimens from thin branches of fallen beech trees further confirmed the presence of Neofavolus alveolaris in the area. The fungus appears to thrive on decaying beech wood, particularly on thin, dry branches, and can be found in abundance in certain areas of East and Central Texas, such as the Sam Houston National Forest. The observations highlight the specific habitat preferences of Neofavolus alveolaris in this region.
