spreading fan-like from stem, undulating with
radiating flutings. Upper surface salmon orange
or orange red, the edge being smooth and unevenly
thickened with nodule-like prominences. In young
specimen ascending, under yellow surface outwardly
exposed.
=Pore Surface:= Bright sulphur yellow; pores very
minute.
=Spores:= Dingy white.
=Stem:= Very short; a mere close attachment for the
spreading growth.
=Taste:= Slightly acid and mucilaginous when raw;
after cooking somewhat suggesting white meat of
chicken.
=Odor:= Suggesting A. campestris.
=Habitat:=: On tree trunks, particularly oaks, often
growing in very large clusters.
