An Example of Calocera cornea... I hope!

It may be too early to decide if this fungus is not really C. viscosa. So far it seems that these are “unbranched and rarely forked” which helped me with the identification.

What is your substrate, Gary? C. viscosa occurs primarily on conifer.

They do look like fresh little babies though, don't they!? Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago

  Lisa, I am quite sure this was on a rotting Red Alder, Alnus rubra, a deciduous tree. The fungus was covering one side and the cut end of the fallen log. Fresh babies brought on by recent rains. Posted 6 years ago

    I'd say C. cornea would be more likely then! :) They are gorgeous! Posted 6 years ago
