Trametes pubescens is a small, thin species of polypore, or bracket fungus. It has a cream-colored, finely velvety cap surface. Unlike most other turkey tail-like species of Trametes, the cap surface lacks strongly contrasting zones of color.

Trametes pubescens is an annual, saprobic fungus, a decomposer of the deadwood of hardwoods, growing in clusters on logs, stumps and downed branches. (It is rarely reported on conifer wood.) It is a purported plant pathogen, infecting peach and nectarine trees.[1] It is inedible.[2]

The genome of T. pubescens has been published in 2017 by Zoraide Granchi and coworkers from the OPTIBIOCAT project.[3] The genome contains 39.7 million bases. The consortium estimates that there are 14,451 different genes, which is quite average among saprobic wood-rotting species. The sequencing has been performed in Leiden, The Netherlands [4]
