Status

Usually found in groups; mostly on lower portions or bottoms of fallen hardwood branches or on logs, less often on conifers.

Description

Tiny fruiting body: Kidney to shell-shaped, dry, flesh thin; varying degree of hairiness; ranging in color from light tan-brown through gray to black. Gills: Moderately distant to distant, dark with or without white edges. Stalk: None to small pseudo-stalk; laterally attached to substrate.

Note: Using macro characteristics to attempt to identify a species in this genus is challenging and often results in a "best guess." Cap color, density and location of hairs, presence or absence of a pseudo-stalk, and waviness of the margin frequently overlap among species and may vary by age and wear, as well as by species. The two species most commonly found in field guides are R. alboniger and R. applicatus. Generally the spores of the former are somewhat elongate and may be sausage-shaped, while the latter’s spores are closer to round. There are numerous species in this genus so more than spore examination may be necessary to distinguish species.

List

Resupinatus is a genus of fungi in the family Resupinataceae, of which it is the only member.[2] Species are saprobic, and often found growing on the underside of decaying wood or sides of decaying woody substrates. The generic name is derived from the Latin resupinus (bent backward, inverted).

Description

[edit]

Species in this genus have small fruiting bodies, typically less than 1.5 cm in diameter. Basidiocarps are pleurotoid or cyphelloid in shape,[3] meaning they have a reduced stem, and a flattened cap that is kidney-shaped or circular when viewed from above. Gills are well-developed and radiate outwards from an off-center point of origin or lacking.[4]

Species

The following species are recognised in the genus Resupinatus:[5]
