Notes:
This was spotted in the side yard of our home. It was growing up from a bed of ivy near small trees/shrubs and approx. 8 ft. from the side of the house. The area doesn’t get a lot of sunlight and we have recently had a couple of heavy rains. It appeared very quickly!

Add CommentI’m not sure…I had just pulled the piece when I took the picture and a storm came up…so I’ll need to head back out and look. I’ll update and let you know. If it is stained black, what does that indicate?
Thanks.
Here’s a picture of the underside of one of the sections. If I’m understanding what a pore layer is, it doesn’t look like this has one. I wasn’t able to get a picture of the cross section, but when I looked, it’s solid all the way through, very moist, and basically the same color as the outside (just a bit lighter).
I hope this helps and thanks for the feedback in satisfying our curiosity!
I’ll try to get what you’re asking for. I hate to disturb it too much…it’s such a cool looking plant. But I think I can post a couple of images.
Thanks.

could you post a photo of a cross section and the underside (pore layer)?
