Albatrellus avellaneus is a species of fungus in the family Albatrellaceae. Found in the United States and Canada, it was described by Czech mycologist Zdeněk Pouzar in 1972.[1] It is associated with conifers such as western hemlock and spruce.[2]

Sometimes multiple fruit bodies grow into one merged form. The cap is buff, occasionally with reddish tones; yellow hues become stronger with age, when scales also emerge.[2] The tubes are white, staining yellowish with age. The stem is buff above and brownish below.[2] Dried mushrooms tend to take on orangish hues.[2]

Similar species include Albatrellus ovinus and A. subrubescens.[2]
