Variable oysterling

Description:

The cap is initially white, turning creamy-ochre with age. The fruitbody is nearly always laterally attached to its substrate, usually small twigs, via its cap, rather than with a stipe. Typically 0.5 to 2 cm in diameter and often slightly lobed. The gills, which radiate from the point of attachment, are moderately crowded. White at first, they gradually turn yellow-brown or buff. Almost invariably this little woodland mushroom has no stipe at all.

Habitat:

The variable oysterling is saprobic on twigs in deciduous and mixed woodland and at the bases of hedgerows.
