You've probably come to a similar conclusion already but Exidia glandulosa looks quite similar and is very often reported on the east coast. Posted 6 years ago

  Yup, thanks! I didn't ID it at first because I couldn't remember the species name. Then, once I remembered, I forgot to come back and ID it! I blame it on that ageing thing... Posted 6 years ago
