Podoscypha petalodes is a species of fungus in the family Meruliaceae. It is characterized by its petal-like or leaf-like fruiting bodies, typically 1-5 cm in diameter, with wavy or lobed margins and a hairy to velvety surface. In East and Central Texas, Podoscypha petalodes has been found growing on decaying logs, stumps, and other woody debris, often in shaded areas with rich soil. The fungus is relatively common in the region, particularly during the spring and fall months when humidity is high. It can be identified by its distinctive fruiting body shape and size, as well as its white to cream-colored spore print.
