Cup 6 - 10 mm across. Stalk 1.5 - 4 cm long x 1 - 2 mm wide.
Large fruiting coating a fallen Alnus rubra.
Reddish brown overall with minute shelving above pores.
Harvested two sections.
Applied 3% KOH to surface. Darkened, but no distinct change after 5 minutes.
Removed thin pore layer surface/tissue and mounted in 3% KOH on a glass slide.
MICROSCOPY:
Setae: abundant along outer edge of tissue. Long and spear like with fine pointed/sharp tips.
Basidia: 4 sterigmate.
Hyphae: Septate, notches, notch points slightly flaring at intersection or where separated.
Spores: Ellipsoid, with a single guttule(oil dot) in center of each spore(appearing like black eyed peas). Very small, thin walled.
All macroscopic and microscopic features match for F. ferruginosa.
