Auricularia cerrina

Auricularia cerrina is a European wood ear described in 2022 for collections on oaks in warm, dry southern and central European woodland; its name refers to Turkey oak (Quercus cerris). It fruits in the cool, wet part of the year from Iberia to the Pannonian basin, and survives hot, dry summers dried out on dead branches.
