A kidney-shaped fungus that appears on dead twigs of broad-leaved trees in autumn and winter. The attachment is virtually always sessile (no stalk). The cap is initially white, turning creamy-ochre with age. The fruitbody is nearly always laterally attached to its substrate - usually small twigs - via its cap, rather than with a stipe. Typically 0.5 to 2 cm in diameter and often slightly lobed. The gills, which radiate from the point of attachment, are moderately crowded. White at first, they gradually turn yellow-brown or buff. Crepidotus mollis is much larger and darker, with white gills. |
