Phlebia subochracea is a crust fungus that grows on decaying wood, characterized by its waxy to leathery texture and orange-yellow to golden-brown color. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits in the spring and fall, often found on logs, stumps, and fallen branches of deciduous trees, particularly oak and elm. The fungus produces small, rounded to irregularly shaped fruiting bodies that are 1-5 cm in diameter, with a smooth to wrinkled surface and a white to yellowish spore print.
