Chlorencoelia Cup Fungus

Chlorencoelia sp.

Description:

This fungus varied in appearance - some were cup-shaped (younger fruiting bodies), while others were flat and disc-shaped (older fruiting bodies). Color varied and included yellow, orange, green, and brown. The undersurface was fuzzy and cinnamon-brown. Sizes ranged from 0.5-4mm wide.

Habitat:

Growing in loose clusters on rotten wood in a deciduous forest.

Notes:

Microscopic examination is required to determine species. Chlorencoelia torta is probably the ID, but it is not yet confirmed.

This is the first spotting from this genus on Project Noah.
