The fungus was described as new to science in 2012 by mycologists Annarosa Bernicchia, Petr Vampola, and Antonio Prodi after it was confirmed that it was morphologically and genetically distinct from the similar North American species Fibroporia radiculosa.

They are initially smooth and whitish to slightly pinkish, sometimes with sulphur-yellow colouration on the vertical surface.

Numerous rhizomorphs surround the crust, and penetrate deep into the substrate; they are most abundant on old fruit bodies growing on very decayed wood.

The fungus has a dimitic hyphal system, with thin-walled, richly branched generative hyphae with clamps at septa, measuring 2–4.5 μm in diameter.

[1] Found in central European coniferous forests, F. bohemica causes a brown rot on stumps of Norway spruce, or, more rarely, on Scots pine.
