Auricularia fibrillifera

Auricularia fibrillifera is a thin, soft wood ear described by Kobayasi in 1973 from Papua New Guinea and now known from tropical Africa, Asia and Oceania. It belongs to the A. fuscosuccinea complex; Chinese material was once called A. fuscosuccinea, and the closely related A. thailandica is hard to tell apart. It grows on fallen angiosperm trunks in warm, humid forest.
