Corvus Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Found growing alone on what looks like a box elder just after a rain. Can't remember if wood was dead or alive, but probably dead. This fungus looks like it could possibly Exidia Recisa but it looks perhaps a bit too brown to be E. recisa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 I'm almost certain it's A. americana. E. recisa is generally more irregularly lobed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 I agree, likely Auricularia. A recent study of the North American Auricualria has resulted in the documentation of a few new species. It is currently believed that the most common NA Auricularia found on hardwood is A. angiospermarum. A. americana is said to occur on conifer wood. Otherwise, these two species are very similar in appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
