Bulgaria inquinans
In its first stage is typically cup-shaped. The top is flat, taking a bath plug form. It is divided into two distinct parts in color: an inner area which at maturity is flat black, the fertile carpophorus; and the outside area, distinctly powdery brown. The size of fully grown individuals can reach 4 cm in diameter.
This is a fairly common and abundant species, which already appears in the summer and during the fall. Fruiting on logs and fallen branches of hardwoods trees, sometimes forming large colonies.
We found these on the bark of a dead tree. http://kijkenindenatuur.nl/paddenstoelen...
