  I'm not even sure where to start for an ID, so I shared it on MO. The wood was almost completely charred (I pulled it out of a firepit). Posted 4 years ago

    Mycoacia uda is yellow, grows on dead wood and occurs in your area, yet really not sure if its a match. It seems to have a very variable texture, in most cases more pointy.
    
    The other yellow one growing on wood that I found is Trichoderma sulphureum. Posted 4 years ago

      I would choose Mycoacia uda over the latter,but I'm not entirely sure of an ID. Could be an immature phlebioid fungus. Posted 4 years ago

Weird. The texture reminds me of Serpula sp. Posted 4 years ago

    Great info. I wonder if the type of wood matters? Posing it as a lazy question. Posted 4 years ago

      Wow, thanks for all the thoughts about an ID. I haven't been keeping up on my email and missed them all til now. I am still feeling clueless about this one, but think the ideas are all promising. Maybe I should share it to a FB group. I haven't had heard any peeps about an ID on MO so far. I may go back to this spot tomorrow and will get more shots, if I do.
      
      Oh, and the wood was likely a conifer because I found the firepit in a coniferous forest. Posted 4 years ago
