Tomentella badia is a corticioid fungus in the family Thelephoraceae, assessed as Least Concern (LC). It forms resupinate fruiting bodies with a brown, felty surface on decaying wood and soil in forest habitats. Like other Tomentella species, it forms ectomycorrhizal associations with trees and is involved in nutrient cycling.
