Erumpent. Crumbly/fragile, especially near the top.
nearly 2cm across. The peridioles are nearly the size of the fruiting bodies of the Crucibulum laeve on the upper left...
No smell, no taste. Growing on a log under maple, sweetgum, silverbell, hemlock, sourwood. Texture slimy, with tough brain-like gleba. Chewed texture gristly, or like a raw vegetable.
On black birch by stream, seems different than previous birch growing species, gills darker, not certain if from spores.
I don't exactly remember the name of this one, but it looks familiar and habitat is familiar growing on birch.
i think this is witch’s butter but i can’t say for sure haha
