Eichleriella is a genus of wood-inhabiting fungi that was recently reinstated and redefined based on molecular evidence. Unlike the gelatinous Exidia, species in this genus typically form stereoid (leathery/crust-like) to cupulate fruit bodies. It represents a distinct lineage within the Auriculariaceae that has evolved a drier, more persistent morphology compared to its jelly fungus relatives.
Basidiocarps are effused to cupulate with a waxy, leathery, or coriaceous texture. The hymenophore (spore-bearing surface) is smooth to spiny (hydnoid). Microscopically, they possess longitudinally septate basidia (ellipsoid to ovoid) and a monomitic hyphal system with clamp connections.
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 Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
