    So pretty! I agree with Trichaptum! I know the algal growth is common with. T. abietinum. Not sure about T. biforme.
    Edit: seems common in both species     Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

      Oh, thanks for the tip. Maybe it's T. abietinum. I've never seen that one. Posted 4 years ago
