Pycnoporus sanguineus
This little mushroom, appears to have a growth in ripples. Since all the parts were bonded together. -The species are most easily distinguished by where it grows.-
These specimen was found in a grove that has a huge amount of organic matter deposited on the ground (Litter). He was in dry twigs in the ground.
This mushroom is very "hard" and, when touched, releases many spores in the what rang him.
Just noticed your in Brazil, I though you were in spain for some reason. Sorry.
That means this is Pycnoporus sanguineus..
In fact here is a hot climate region. But the weather is kind of cold. That must be it ... Thank's!
Its a Pycnoporus sp. The species are most easily distinguished by where it grows. I don't know the climate of your area, but i would imagine you have Pycnoporus cinnabarinus - the cool/temperate North American/European species.
