Golden splash tooth 》 Phlebia subceracea

This seems to be an early-mid stage of this crust fungus, before it has developed its elongated teeth! (㇏(•̀ᵥᵥ•́)ノ)

Dyeing with fungi, demos are fun. (Plus one plant.)

The colors are not accurate on the phone and as they are drying they are looking a bit different.

FOTD #002 : cobalt crust! (terana caerulea)

cobalt crust (also called velvet blue spread) is a saprobic crust fungus in the family phanerochaetaceae. it is often found in warm, damp hardwood forests on the undersides of fallen logs & branches of deciduous trees. asia, africa, new zealand, north america, the canary islands, europe, taiwan, thailand, & turkey have reported this fungus.

the big question : can i bite it?? this fungus is inedible.

t. caerulea description :

"terana caerulea is resupinate, meaning the fruiting body lies on the surface of the substrate, with the hymenium exposed to the outside. the fruiting body is 2–6 mm thick. it is dark blue with a paler margin, with a velvety or waxy texture when moist, but crusty & brittle when dry. the fruiting body is firmly attached to its growing surface except at the edges. in nature, the fungus surface is typically found pointing downward, which helps facilitate spore dispersal. it usually grows on dead deciduous wood, often ash, maple, oak and hazel. the spore print is white. spores are ellipsoidal, smooth, thin-walled, hyaline or pale blue, with dimensions of 7–12 by 4–7 µm. the four-spored basidia are club-shaped, hyaline or blue, with dimensions of 40–60 by 5–7 µm."
