Field Notes

Description:

A tiny example of Fungi Imperfecti! Fungi Imperfecti are fungi for which a sexually reproductive stage of the life cycle has not been found. They are anamorphs and have only an asexual reproductive stage, lacking the teleomorph (fruiting body/sexual reproductive stage). Resembling a slime mold, they form small grayish white cushions on dead hardwood. Sizes ranged from 1-3mm.

Habitat:

Rotting wood in a mostly deciduous forest.
