| Ecology & Habitat | Saprotrophic, Growing singly or in rows of clusters, on dead wood, either standing or fallen. On hardwoods or conifers. |
| Edibility, Taste & Odor | Indistinct odor. Mild flavor, if any. Mostly added to dishes for texture. Edible |
| Flesh | Shaped like somewhat like a fan, but somewhat like a cup, it resembles an ear. The inside sometimes contains wrinkles or folds lending even more of an ear like appearance to it. When moist, it is amber to brown and semi-translucent. It may have fine white hairs on the fertile surface. When dried, it will appear black and shriveled. |
| Spores | White |
Not terribly common, but not uncommon either. These specimens are quite small. They seem to grow larger on larger pieces of wood. I’m hoping to start a culture from the specimens shown below and grow them this year on saw dust/wood shavings. If successful, photos will follow.
