Auricularia angiospermarum
Wavy, brown, ear-shaped fruiting bodies that were about 1-3 cm wide. They were very soft and fuzzy un the undersurface and smooth on the uppersurface.
Growing on rotting, decorticated wood along the edge of a meadow.
Until recently, the North American species of Wood Ear was considered to be Auricularia auricula-judae. However, research has shown that Auricularia auricula-judae is not endemic to North America.
