Smoked Oysterling - Resupinatus applicatus
These were a first for me!
Fruiting bodies were somewhat fan-shaped with a central point of attachment. They were approximately 5ish mm in diameter and were grayish brown in color. The cap surface had some kind of hairy fuzz on it. Flesh was firm, but gelatinous. Gills radiated from point of attachment, were close with short gills, and were brown with white edges.
Habitat: On the bottom of rotting wood in a mostly deciduous forest

"Resupinatus applicatus", commonly known as the smoked oysterling or the black jelly oyster, is a species of fungus in the family Tricholomataceae, and the type species of the genus "Resupinatus".
