Trametes ochracea is a polypore fungus that grows on deciduous trees, particularly birch and alder. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it is commonly found in urban parks and forests, often on dead or dying tree trunks. In north-western Russia, it is widely distributed in temperate forests, typically fruiting from July to October. The fungus has a semicircular to fan-shaped cap with a wavy margin, ochre to brown in color, and a pore surface that is white to light brown. It is a saprotrophic species, playing a role in decomposing wood and recycling nutrients in the ecosystem.
