Phellodon fuligineoalbus is a species of tooth fungus that grows on the ground in association with coniferous trees. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits in late summer to early autumn, often in mossy or heathy areas under spruce, pine, or fir. The cap is 3-8 cm in diameter, grayish-brown to dark brown, and covered with fine velvety hairs. The spines are decurrent, crowded, and grayish-brown. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be found in suitable habitats, particularly in areas with acidic soils and coniferous tree cover.
