Field Notes

Description:

A large brown paper-thin fruiting body with a ruffled upper surface and beautiful white pore surface (underside) arising from a damp log.
The fruiting body had a very short stipe.

Habitat:

Spotted in a damp temperate rain forest

Notes:

Thanks again John Walter for the ID. This was incorrectly labelled Podoscypha. John explains the difference between the two : "..this looks more like Cymatoderma elegans, it has much larger funnels than the Podoscypha and the wrinkled white underside is not seen on the Podoscypha " <br>
Family: Podoscyphaceae <br>
