    It looks very much like a species of Coltricia of which there are about 20, but there's not a huge amount of information about many of them available. I'll keep checking to see if I can find a good distribution map. Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago

      Thank you. Yes, it seems the species as well as fungi species in general in Sri Lanka are quite poorly described. Based on looks I was expecting an easy match, I was wrong :) Posted 10 years ago
