Cymatoderma elegans
A large brown paper-thin fruiting body with a ruffled upper surface and beautiful white pore surface (underside) arising from a damp log. The fruiting body had a very short stipe.
Spotted in a damp temperate rain forest
Thanks again John Walter for the ID. This was incorrectly labelled Podoscypha. John explains the difference between the two : "..this looks more like Cymatoderma elegans, it has much larger funnels than the Podoscypha and the wrinkled white underside is not seen on the Podoscypha "
Family: Podoscyphaceae
