Ceramic Parchment

Xylobolus frustulatus

Description:

This fungus made the log look like it was wearing dentures. Ceramic Parchment is a saprobic fungus, which I spotted growing densely and gregariously on a rotting log in patches of adjacent frustules. The individual fruiting bodies were irregularly shaped, resupinate, and were approximately 3-6mm in size.

Habitat:

Growing on rotting wood in a deciduous forest.
