Good one CBP. Another one not 'down under'. Nice looking cups.

chesterbperry ... Thank you very much for the ID; greatly appreciated.

Mark ... Trees are not my strong point so I took a photo of the leaves to aid in future identification (added it above). Judging from the leaves and Chesterbperry's ID it seems to be a birch.
Leuba Ridgway
Very interesting fungus, William. Was the underside totally smooth or did you see any pores - fascinating. I would love to know when you get an ID.
