Cap, gills below, no stem & usually on wood [stemless mushrooms & the like] field guide


 

The fruitbodies of most of the species in this group grow from wood, but sometimes that wood may be buried (e.g. dead roots). Some examples of fruitbody attachment are:

 

     Cap roughly semicircular and attached to wood along the cap’s diameter.

     Cap more-or-less circular but tapering to a narrow attachment point.

     Cap on the underside of dead wood and attached by its top.

     Cap like an upside-down cup, with the edge of the cup attached to wood.
