Neoantrodia serialis is a species of fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae. It is a wood-decaying fungus that grows on coniferous trees, particularly spruce and pine. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Neoantrodia serialis has been found to be relatively rare, but it can be encountered in mature forests with abundant dead wood. The fungus typically fruits in late summer to early autumn, producing resupinate to effused-reflexed basidiocarps with a white to cream-colored pore surface.
