Flavodon flavus is easily recognize due to yellowish colour in the basidiomata and context when fresh, reddish to browish with KOH, hydnoid hymenohore, dimitic system, skeletal hyphae hyaline, thick-walled, cystidia dominating in the hymenium, apical encrusted, and basidiopspores broadly ellipsoid, smooth, 5.5-6.5 x 3-4.5 um, thin-walled (Ryvarden, 1973).
The species in known in 37 countries and about 40% of the records are in Australia.

About 1/3 of the records in Brazil are in unprotected areas.
Other areas should be studied in order to assess the distribution of this species.
Published experiments with Flavodon flavus isolates have shown that this species has the potential for the production of lignocellulosic enzymes (Nakamura, 2008; Padhiar et al., 2010; Klaiklay et al., 2013)
