Phylloporus rhodoxanthus is a species of bolete fungus characterized by its pink to reddish-pink cap and yellow pores. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits from May to October, often in association with oak and pine trees. The cap ranges from 2-6 cm in diameter, and the stipe is usually 3-6 cm long and 0.5-1.5 cm thick. The flesh is yellow, and the spore print is olive-brown. It can be found in a variety of habitats, including woodland edges, savannas, and along roadsides.
Observations of Phylloporus rhodoxanthus in East and Central Texas reveal that the fungus grows at the base of trees, particularly oak, in Lick Creek Park, College Station. The cap of the mushroom was observed growing on June 6, 2018, with yellow gills. Dissection of the mushroom showed its internal structure. Subsequent observations on September 18 and 25, 2018, and June 28, 2019, confirmed the presence of Phylloporus rhodoxanthus in the park, often in groups at the base of trees. The mushrooms were found to have yellow gills and were observed in cross-section. These observations suggest that Phylloporus rhodoxanthus is a common species in the area, thriving in association with oak trees. The fungus was consistently found in Lick Creek Park over multiple visits, indicating its presence in East and Central Texas.
