Public Description (default) [Edit]
Draft for 2008/2009 EOL University Species Pages Initiative by Dan Anderson (private)
When: 2010-10-29
Collection location: Beaver Co., Pennsylvania, USA [Click for map]
Who: Bob Zuberbuhler (Bob Z)
No herbarium specimen

Notes: A toothed crust found on an upright dead tree. The teeth were long, flat and jagged at the tip. I could find no pores anywhere. I think this may be Hydnochaete olivaceus but couldn’t see setae and don’t know whether this species ever has shelves. What are the roudish projections in a patch adjacent to teeth?

Summary: most definitely

though the >3mm tooth length doesn’t seem enough to call this Spongipellis

Summary: Teeth were > 3mm.

Danny,
The “teeth” were more than 3mm long as I remember them. Do you think the teeth and the shelves were the same organism?

Summary: the roundish projections

look vaguely like the remnants of termites or some other wood burrowing insect. just how long were the teeth? more than 3mm?
