Coprinellus sp. 'radians-IN02'
MODERATECoprinellus sp. 'radians-IN02'
Overview
The orange layer was not just a thin coating on the bark — it had built up into a distinct three-dimensional mycelial felt/mat. From my description: • Thickness: roughly 2.5–5 mm (about 0.1–0.2 inches). • Texture: springy/spongy and felt-like (almost like a thin mat you could slightly lift in places), rather than slimy or crusty, but it was still quite moist. • Attachment: loosely adherent in spots but forming a coherent layer. • Color: vivid, consistent orange throughout.
