Trametes hirsuta is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Polyporaceae. It is characterized by its hairy or velvety cap, which ranges in color from brown to gray, and its white to cream-colored pores. In East and Central Texas, Trametes hirsuta can be found growing on dead trees, stumps, and logs, particularly those of oak and other hardwood species. The fungus is commonly encountered in wooded areas, including forests and woodlands, and is often associated with decaying wood. Its fruiting bodies typically appear from spring to fall, with a peak in summer months.
