Trametes lactinea is a species of bracket fungi belonging to the family Polyporaceae and has been observed growing in various parts of North America, including Texas.

The image highlights the distinctive characteristics of Trametes lactinea. The fungus grows on decaying wood and forms white or pale brownish brackets that are typically 3-15 cm (1.2-6 inches) wide and 5-20 cm (2-8 inches) tall. The upper surface is smooth, flat to wavy, and covered with a thin layer of mycelium.
