Neoantrodia serialis is a species of polypore fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae. Originally named Polyporus serialis by Elias Fries in 1821, it was transferred to its current genus by Canadian mycologist Serge Audet in 2017. A widespread species, N. serialis causes heart rot in living trees. In North America, it is often confused with the morphologically similar Neoantrodia serialiformis, which grows on oak.
