Field Notes

Description:

On a small stump in underbrush, uphill from a creek. About 10 specimens. I couldn't get a spore print, the specimens were too old I think. I'm sorry the underside photo is much clearer than the top.

Habitat:

Dead logs and stumps.

Thanks, MilesBerkey. I'll go with the original Oyster guess then.

Oysters grow on deciduous stumbs, logs and snags. Angel Wings grows on coniferous substrates. I just collected allot of Angel Wings last weekend.
