Vase shaped polypore

very neat little polypore - tiny pores, brown fading to cream on the inside, cream colored on the pore side. Growing on a well rotted log. There were several others that had split and flattened to a star like shape. So far, I've got no clue as to what this one is!

Short on time myself, but I hope you get to the bottom of this one, would be awesome to have it identified. Posted 6 years ago

  I think I've found it - related to, but smaller than P. badius (with the same common name), which I've found before. The stem doesn't have much dark color, but there's a little down very near to the wood and it's a slightly different shape than perhaps typical, but I did find a photo that looked similar.
  
  Hmm - going to have to sort out the names. I don't think this one should be the same as P. badius aka Cerioporus leptocephalus. I found P. various and looked for synonyms to be sure I wasn't adding an extraneous name, but I think perhaps that this one should be different, but the genus was reclassified quite recently - 2016, so I'm really not sure... Gotta go now though! Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago
