Wonderful!!!! What do you think about the brown being in Leotiomycetes? Maybe Mollisia sp.? I'm not sure. Posted 5 years ago

  Thanks! Mollisia sp. was my thought as well, but I've never seen them this color before. Plus, they don't have a white margin. But, maybe not all Mollisia sp. have the margin? I have no idea. Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

The Helicogloea compressa

Helicogloea compressa is an anamorph fungus which grows on dead hardwood. This species makes asexual spores called conidia in a cushion-like structure called a sporodochium. The spores are borne at the tips of slightly compressed branches and this feature is reflected in the species name.
