  Thanks! Unfortunately, no shot of the underside. But, the underside was whitish and fuzzy. The stems were so short that they might not even really be considered as such. Posted 5 years ago

      I agree. It reminded me of a Stereum sp. or Aleurodiscus limonisporus or Hymenoscyphus fructigenus...And, yet, none of those seem to fit. I think I'll post in to a FB group to see if anyone has any ideas. Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago
