Wraber, 1969).Substratum: fallen, decaying, decorticated, thick branch of Fagus sylvatica.Place: Lower Trenta valley between villages Soa and Trenta, next to the trail from farmhouse Skokar, Trenta 2 to the Matev's bridge (Trenta 1) on river Soa; East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia. Comments (pertain to pictures in the Flicks album Antrodia albida): Antrodia albida is a cosmopolitan species, not common and in some European countries a rare species. It causes brown root of broadleaved, dead wood. It is very variable in habit. Sometimes it grows effused reflexed and forms distinct pilei as in this find. In these cases, pores on vertical surfaces are elongated, almost lamellae or teeth like. When growing totally resupinate it looks quite differently with more or less regular, round to angular large pores. However, even if in the effused-reflexed form the pores at the edge of the fruit body are always almost round. This is an important trait for determination of the species. Pilei are small, not much wider than a few cm at maximum, however in resupinate and effused-reflexed forms it can be 50 cm long and 10 cm wide. Sporocarp dimensions: effuse-reflex form up to 37 cm long and up to 8 cm wide; pilei dimension up to 22 mm wide and 6 mm from the substratum; taste mild, mushroomy; smell indistinctive; flesh firm, leathery, firmly appressed to the substratum, almost impossible to separate both; SP none (invisible). Spores hard to find (may be not representative), smooth of variable size. Dimensions: (8) 8.3 - 11.4 (18) (4.2) 4.4 - 6.1 (8.4) m; Q = (1.5) 1.8 - 2.1; N = 11; Me = 10.5 5.4 m; Qe = 1.9.
