Synonyms[1]
  • Polyporus citreus Berk. (1873)
  • Polystictus citreus (Berk.) Cooke (1873)[2]
  • Microporus citreus (Berk.) Kuntze (1898)[3]
  • Tyromyces citreus (Berk.) G.Cunn. (1965)[4]

It was originally described as Polyporus citreus by English botanist Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1872,[6] and has undergone several name changes before being placed in the genus Antrodiella by Leif Ryvarden in 1984.[7]

Up to 2 cm (0.8 in) in diameter, the soft fruiting bodies are found on the underside of dead tree branches, particularly of Eucalyptus trees; they have the texture of chamois. The pored spore-bearing surface is white, while the upper surface is bright yellow. The spore print is white, and the smooth oval spores are around 2.5 by 4.5 μm.[8]
