A crust-like, poroid relative of the jelly fungi (Auriculariales) that grows on dead hardwood. It looks like a white-rot Poria but has cruciately septate basidia like Exidia. In the strict sense, Miettinen et al. (2012) knew it from only three collections in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. The name has been applied broadly to material that probably includes several species.
Not edible: a thin, leathery crust with no food value.
Never eat a wild mushroom based on a web page — confirm with an expert.
Mycology is an evolving science: names, classifications and safety information change as research advances. Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
