Auricularia buccina

Auricularia buccina is a wood ear described by Patouillard in 1898 from Tahiti and known essentially from its type. It has not been re-examined in modern revisions of the genus, so its identity and ecology are uncertain. Grow it, if a culture ever surfaces, like other lowland tropical wood ears.
