creaturefeature97Description
Found feeding on the gills of Russula cyanoxantha. The forest still resembles how many of the bare patches looked like pre 2018-2022. Conifer plantations, mixed decidous native and introduced as well.

mkremediosDescription
Mystery-origin black crust thing on the bark of this tree. Low down on just one side, in a dark patch on the bark. It had no smell. There did not appear to be evidence of burnt anything nearby. It was brittle, very thin, dry. The texture of one side was fiberous/cellulose-looking like the tree bark more or less, other side was smooth and somewhat shiny.

Order ExobasidialesObserver
mkremediosDescription
Microscopy to be added. Was definitely fungal, by appearance/texture and odor (classic sweet wild mushroom smell predominantly). On a shrub/tree that is identified as American plum (Prunus americana). We have samples of it. Order Exobasidiales to start with.

I found these growing INSIDE a silver maple! The maple was decayed enough by other fungi and bugs that it was turning to soil inside! Or some kind of pre soil. It was really cool.

I know nothing of mushrooms, but there were a grouping of maybe 4-5 of these all within less than a 10 foot circle. Hardwood forest with a bunch of dead ash trees. Hope this info is potentially helpful.

You can see a number of the periodoles that have splashed out of the “nest” during rain and come to rest on the wood edging above.
