Hymenochaete rubiginosa |
This fungus spreads and forms caps (effused-reflexed) on old logs and stumps, growing and producing spores for several years. Caps develop concentric zones of color and become very hard, breaking like a thin seashell. The fertile (spore producing) surface is orange-brown and covered with tiny, bristle-like spines (setae). Previously misidentified here as Pseudochaete tabacina. Order Hymenochaetales. |
