Hairy Rubber Cup
A small, rubbery, top- or goblet-shaped cup fungus of hardwood sticks and logs in eastern North America. The inside of the cup is orange-brown and smooth, while the outside is covered in dark brown to blackish hairs, and the flesh is thick and gelatinous. It fruits mainly in summer.
North American field guides list it as inedible or of unknown edibility, so it is not recommended. It is eaten and valued in parts of Malaysia (Sabah, Sarawak), but those populations may not be identical to North American material.
