    Gorgeous! My first thought was something in the Meruliaceae family? Maybe Steccherinum sp.? I'm not sure at all! Posted 5 years ago

        I suggested Steccherinum sp. on MO and got an "not likely", lol. The person suggested Radulomyces or Basidioradulum, but each with low confidence. I'm thinking Radulomyces sp. at this point. Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

          I agree with Radulomyces as well, but the strongly flattened ends of the teeth are throwing me off? I'm such a noob with some fungi! Posted 5 years ago

            I agree about the flattened ends. I can't find a match for those so far. Posted 5 years ago

      I thought so too. It was nice enough to grow on some lovely, abstract lichen wood. Posted 5 years ago
