Description
A very small silky-white fan-shaped oysterling on wood that can only be reliably identified microscopically.
Identification features
Cap only about 8–20 mm wide, silky white, fan-shaped and laterally attached. Gills change from white to ochre or reddish-brown; stem is very short or absent.
Identification checklist
A photograph alone is insufficient. Reliable identification depends on microscopic characters, especially spore shape.
How to separate similar species
Gobe.si explicitly states that reliable identification requires microscopy; FungiTrail should show low AI confidence.
Habitat
Grows in groups on hard wood of hardwoods and conifers, mainly in autumn.
Fruiting period
September, October, November
