Gloeophyllum protractum is a species found mainly on conifer wood, identifiable by its conspicuous, bracket-shaped fruiting bodies that display concentric rings of color. This species typically favors environments that are moist and shaded, where it plays a role in breaking down wood. Despite being quite resilient to preservative treatments, its presence can indicate advanced wood decay.
